Subject: Patch: Clarify Documentation for clean()
The documentation for HTML::Tidy's clean() method doesn't describe its return value clearly. For a more precise description, see the attached patch which applies against version 1.06. In case you're interested, I describe the background for this patch in my use.perl journal: http://use.perl.org/~tomhukins/journal/27445 Thanks, Tom
