HTML Tidy is a software library whose purpose is to fix invalid HTML. It is enabled on all Wikimedia wikis. Without HTML Tidy, a small percentage of pages will render incorrectly (broken tables; extended bold; horizontal scroll bar; misplaced images), etc. See <ahref="http://xowa.org/wiki/home/page/Diagnostics/HTML_Tidy.html"id="xolnki_2"title="Diagnostics/HTML Tidy"class="xowa-visited">Diagnostics/HTML_Tidy</a> for examples.
For more info about XOWA's customized JTidy jar, see <ahref="http://xowa.org/wiki/home/page/App/Xtn/Mediawiki/Tidy/JTidy.html"id="xolnki_3"title="App/Xtn/Mediawiki/Tidy/JTidy">App/Xtn/Mediawiki/Tidy/JTidy</a>
