ABOUT HABIT TIDY

HABit Tidy provides a Windows graphical user-interface for HTML Tidy for Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP.

HTML Tidy for Windows is a free command-line utility for cleaning up and reformatting HTML code and is available for download from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

HABit Tidy relies upon HTML Tidy for Windows to perform its major tasks and without it is just a rather basic text-editor.

HABit Tidy can also be used with the console version of HTML Tidy dated 4 August 2000 and released by David Raggett but I cannot guarantee that all the Custom options will work as described.

INSTALLATION

The install.exe utility in this package makes installation very easy. All you have to do is to run Install, read and accept the conditions in the license and either accept the suggested folder or provide a different folder name. The files will be copied to the correct locations.

If you have received this package as a "ZIP" file, you will probably already have "unzipped" the installation files or be reading this file in "Winzip" or a similar utility. If you are using Winzip, simply click on the Winzip Install button and the installation utility will start.

If you have received the package on disk or have already unzipped the files, locate the folder (directory) which holds the files and run Install.

You can run Install as follows

  1. In Windows 9x or Windows XP, click on the Start button, select "Run" and enter the command-line [your folder name]"\install" eg "C:\temp\install" or "A:\install" and click on [OK].
     
  2. The install utility will show you the terms and conditions for the use of HABit Tidy.
     
    If you signify your agreement to these terms and conditions by clicking on the button marked I agree to these terms and conditions, the installation will proceed, otherwise it will halt.
     
  3. The install utility will prompt you for the name of a folder to hold the HABit Tidy files.
     
    Use the path suggested unless you have a good reason not to (eg. you are already using a folder named C:\habtidy)
     
    You will have the option of installing start menu shortcuts for the files.
     
  4. When you click on the [OK] button, the files will be installed to the folder you have chosen.
