Tidy output clutter

[Yves4]

Hi,
It would be nice to maintain the standard UNIX approach, which is no unnecessary output. So basically make the -q flag default and put the text in the help text or something. This disturbs the casual user and is less polite.

I'm referring to this text:

@Yves4 thanks for your comment...

Well, I did not know there is a standard UNIX approach... that includes no unnecessary output... refs for that... ;=))

But even if there is, with a less-is-better philosophy, the creators of tidy, who were unix based, seemed to include a html educational approach, to the errout output...

And I guess that it is aimed primarily at the casual user... since it repeats things a dev would know... and certainly did not intend it to be less polite... lol...

Since from their first tidy --help, they can read how to quieten, -q, or redirect, -f tidyout.txt, etc, etc...

So is it the time, to invert the verbal default, by the founders... maybe... but...

Maybe I have gotten used to adding -q, just about every time... yes, it probably really annoys the developer... ;=))

But can maybe be persuaded... look forward to further feedback... thanks...

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #607, which is even more encompassing than this request.
