Bug Description

Tidy's manpage omits most command line flags and does not provide any examples.

Suggestion: generate a complete manpage with tools provided. Add examples of most common usage.

Tidy's command line flags can be printed in xml with
$ tidy -xml-config
In tidy-doc, /usr/share/doc/tidy-doc/htmldoc/quickref-man.xsl.gz looks like a tool to convert this to manpage.

Add to EXAMPLES part of tidy manpage:

Tidy foo.html, overwriting original
$ tidy -mi foo.html

The version of tidy is obsolete. The current version of tidy, available using CVS on tidy.souceforge.net, has a comprehensive man page. To build it, go to tidy/build/gmake, "make; make doc" will generate the man page. "xsltproc" is a prerequisite.
