Doom-emacs: Trying to format HTML always yields an error message

[teehemkay]

What did you expect to happen?

HTML code reformatted without error

What actually happened?

The format-all-erros buffer opened with the following errors

Config: unknown option: drop-empty-elements
Error: Can't open "no"

Config: missing or malformed argument for option: show-body-only
Error: Can't open "auto"

Config: unknown option: indent-with-tabs
Error: Can't open "no"

Additional details:

After checking the web-mode and so that formatter used is supposedly html-tidy which is not installed in my system. I installed it but I'm still getting the same error message.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an HTML file
2. M-x: +format/buffer
3. Observe the error message

Seems to be resolved in latest release, so I'll close this issue.

[actual-size]

@teehemkay I'm getting this error as well, what version was this resolved on?

[brorbw]

This issue still occurs

[gustavo-depaula]

Happening to me too.

[lroolle]

@gustavo-depaula @brorbw @actual-size

For me, this occurs due to the wrong version of tidy! There is a default tidy In macOS:

❯ which tidy
/usr/bin/tidy
❯ tidy --version
HTML Tidy for Mac OS X released on 31 October 2006 - Apple Inc. build 17.2

In macOS, simply install tidy-html5 by:

❯ brew search tidy
==> Formulae
perltidy            tidy-html5          tidyp

❯  brew install tidy-html5

And replace tidy with /usr/local/bin/tidy by, for example alias tidy=/usr/local/bin/tidy.

@lroolle solved for me, thanks! although I didn't need to "replace tidy", brew took care of this, I guess.

[brorbw]

@lroolle Actually I totally forgot that I already solved this issue exactly as you described it
