PyTidyLib is a Python package that wraps the HTML Tidy library. This allows you, from Python code, to “fix” invalid (X)HTML markup. Some of the library’s many capabilities include:

• Clean up unclosed tags and unescaped characters such as ampersands

• Output HTML 4 or XHTML, strict or transitional, and add missing doctypes

• Convert named entities to numeric entities, which can then be used in XML documents without an HTML doctype.

• Clean up HTML from programs such as Word (to an extent)

• Indent the output, including proper (i.e. no) indenting for pre elements, which some (X)HTML indenting code overlooks.

document, errors = tidy_document('''<p>f&otilde;o <img src="bar.jpg">''',
  options={'numeric-entities':1})
print document
print errors
