Notepad++ HTML Tidy

Question

Is HTML Tidy for Notepad++ broken? None of the commands except Tidy (the first one) work. They don't show any message, even with all text selected. I really need Tidy to work, or is it just a limitation of the newest version of N++, or lack of support?

Also, the custom syntax dialog freezes whenever I select a color from the color dialog. It remains unresponsive until I click one of the bold, italic, or underline checkboxes. Is this a bug? How do I fix it?

Answer 1

Windows 7-10 x64, Notepad++ 5.9.5 Solution:

It has to do with the libTidy.dll not being included in the current distributions.
However, it was available in earlier versions.

Solution is to download the 5.9 zip, then
copy one of the following folders:
ansi\plugins\Config\tidy or Unicode\plugins\Config\tidy
to your current Notepad++\plugins\Config folder

Also, if you install to the c:\Program Files or c:\Program Files (x86) directories, you will need to adjust the permissions on the tidy folder to allow non-administrator access
