To be completely honest, I never got it to do much more than the usual 
cleanup. I was trying to use it in the Lucene module to strip out tags, 
but ultimately I was unsuccessful.

I wonder if the XHTML setting in jTidy just validates the tag structures 
(e.g. changes <br> to <br/>), but ignores thing like XML declarations.

Also, I recall looking at the newer version of jTidy and thinking that 
it had some good features, but I never got around to downloading and 
testing with OpenCms. Right now, the sourceforge site is down, so I 
can't get to the site.
