New versions of MacTidy (now at v1.0b10) and the BBTidy plugin (now at v1.0b7) for BBEdit are available for download, as are updates of TidyHTML and MPWTidy as well. Tidy for Mac OS checks XML and HTML against W3C standards, corrects problems it knows how to fix, and logs those it doesn't.

XML Tools 2.1

Late Night Software has released version 2.1 of their XML Tools Scripting Addition for AppleScript, with improvements made chiefly to its whitespace handling.

According to their web site, this version's new features include: "the parse XML command now supports the xml-space="preserve" tag attribute that causes white space to be retained within the data associated with the tag; the parse XML command now has a boolean preserving whitespace parameter that allows you to direct parse XML to preserve white space characters (space, tab, newline) within XML data; the generate XML command now has boolean pretty printing parameter controlling the formatting applied to generated XML data."
