How do I avoid prevent the removal of tags in PHP Tidy?

Question

I'm using Tidy to produce clean output, but it somehow removes my <nav> tags. Are there any configuration options that will avoid this?

Answer 1

The underlying tidy library doesn't know anything about HTML5.

There is a new project underway to make a new tidy that handles HTML5: https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5 That's not going to help you here, though.
