uTidylib

Build Status Coverage Status Documentation PyPI - Version

This is uTidylib, the Python wrapper for the HTML cleaning library named TidyLib. It supports both original Tidy <http://tidy.sf.net> and new HTML5 enabled Tidy <http://www.html-tidy.org/>.

The package is available on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/uTidylib/>.

Once installed, there are two ways to get help. The simplest is:

$ python
>>> import tidy
>>> help(tidy)
. . .

Then, of course, there's the API documentation, which is available at <https://utidylib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>.
