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.
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...
