There are actually three versions of tidy: www/tidy, www/tidy-devel, and www/tidy-lib. Although the docproj port installs the last, any can be used. Replacing tabs with 	 before tidy is called is probably the most compatible way. The attached patch does this with sed in the three doc Makefiles where tidy is used: doc.docbook.mk, doc.html.mk, doc.xml.mk. How it actually works is either funny or appalling, depending on how you look at it. sed replaces tabs with 	, then tidy translates the 	 back to tabs. Since this happens after the tabs-to-spaces code in tidy, the output is a literal tab. The Makefile changes work with any of the versions of tidy. A sample of the Porter's Handbook produced with this patch: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/porters/book.html Firefox 9 on FreeBSD renders the Makefile examples perfectly. (Firefox 9 in WINE does not render them correctly either with tabs or spaces.)
