After running Tidy on documents with a doctype of

The doctype definition is replace with the "Strict" version.

I did a little digging and there is a -doctype switch in Tidy, but setting it to

--doctype -transitional

in the Tidy bundle has no effect... Transitional is still changed to Strict.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Eric,

I'm not sure about this, but I think that Tidy only switches to Transitional of there are elements in the document that are only allowed in Transitional (i.e. "deprecated" elements). If there are no such elements, Tidy switches to Strict doctype because the document really is writtenin strict XHTML syntax.
