- This repository originally transferred from w3c.github.com/tidy-html5.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- First moved to <a href="https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5">Github</a> from <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/">tidy.sourceforge.net</a>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>HTML Tidy</strong> was created by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C’s</a> own <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/">Dave Raggett</a> back in the
|
|||
|
|
dawn of the Internet age. His original Internet page is still available and
|
|||
|
|
gives a sense of the early history: <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/">Clean up your Web pages with HTML TIDY</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Satisfied with his work Dave passed the torch to a dedicated group of
|
|||
|
|
maintainers at <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/">tidy.sourceforge.net</a> where the important tasks of turning
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Tidy</strong> into a C library and keeping up with developing standards was
|
|||
|
|
performed.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>W3C members took a renewed interest in <strong>Tidy</strong> in 2011 and forked the
|
|||
|
|
project to <a href="https://github.com/w3c/tidy-html5">github</a> (now redirects to new maintainers), where it featured
|
|||
|
|
compatibility with HTML5 via a <a href="https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2011Nov/0007.html">key contribution</a> from one of the SourceForge
|
|||
|
|
key members.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>In 2015 a group of concerned developers, users, and software integrators formed
|
|||
|
|
<a href="http://www.htacg.org">HTACG</a> with the goal of revitalizing <strong>Tidy</strong>, which had fallen into a
|
|||
|
|
non-maintained state. As a W3C Community Group, HTACG was deemed worthy by the
|
|||
|
|
W3C, and W3C passed ownership of their project to HTACG, where it is currently
|
|||
|
|
being developed and prepped for a new, stable, and modern release.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>HTACG is also working diligently with the SourceForge maintainers in an effort
|
|||
|
|
to harmonize <strong>HTML Tidy</strong> into a single, stable, solid release once again.</p>
