tidy-mark option is not working

[iio7]

I'm using tidy for Linux version 5.7.16. The tidy-mark option is not working. Using:

$ tidy --tidy-mark no foo.html

Still leaves the generator meta tag:

<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for HTML5 for Linux version 5.7.16">

@iio7 thank you for the issue, but seem unable to repeat the problem... tested with tidy5-5.7.16, circa 2018/05/03, and next...

Tidy can not ignore the --tidy-mark no option! See code ...

If the option is on, no TY_(AddGenerator)(doc); is done...

Are you sure this option is not in one of the config files tidy may use, like through env, HTML_TIDY, or the other config file options...

And note, tidy will not remove any such meta from the input source...

Am I missing something here? You will need to explain more... thanks...

Sorry for the delay in my response. I'm sorry, but I can no longer reproduce the error myself.

I don't know exactly what happened, but I can only guess that I must have managed to use tidy the first time without the --tidy-mark no option, resulting in all HTML files getting the generator tag inserted without me noticing. Later when I was testing output I used the --tidy-mark no. option, but must have been dealing with files that already had the tag inserted.
