Addendum to previous whine

A few lines out of the few screenfulls of messages HTML Tidy spewed when I asked it to fix the indenting on that 1600-line, 60K HTML file I mentioned in my previous entry:

After a loooong list of warning/error messages...

293 warnings, 13 errors were found! Not all warnings/errors were shown.

This document has errors that must be fixed before
using HTML Tidy to generate a tidied up version.
... and then a bunch of explanations of particular problems. Whee.

Unescaped &s, tags in illegal places, closing tags in the wrong order, missing </form> ... and this is somebody's professional code for somebody else's active commercial site?

Mood:: 'frustrated' frustrated

Yep. Sturgeon's Law certainly applies to code as well as to literature.

Just a shame most of the people who write that sort of thing seem to be senior, and unremovable from their positions.
