Were you ever successful in beautifying DocBook XML documents (or any
other XML document) by using tidy? I wasn't! :-(
I tried the last CVS version of tidy (on WinNT), adopted the config
files to let tidy know about specific markup... . No chance! I get a
lot of superfluous empty lines after inline markup ... inline isn't
anymore inline ...
Is tidy supposed to work correctly on arbitrary XML files? Perhaps
you can send me such a DocBook specific config file (if you have
one)? That would be very decent of you.
