max,

I'm sorry to say that this one slipped by us. There will be no control for enabling or disabling Tidy in basic edition 4.x. Unless persuaded otherwise, HTML Tidy will be permanently turned on for basic edition until release 5.0.

Your only viable work around, I'm afraid, is to upgrade to professional or enterprise edition. Please pm me if you'd like to chat more about this.

Thanks,
Scott

max,

If you're using professional or enterprise edition, turn off Tidy for that scrapeable file (under the Advanced tab). If you're using basic edition and you try to do the same form within the settings dialog you'll find that Tidy can not be turned off. This is a bug that we're addressing in basic edition.

I suggest downloading either professional or enterprise editions for a free 30-day trial while we get this bug cleared up.

Thanks,
Scott
