** How to run tidy as Notepad++ filter command **

For some reason I didn't find a working example of how to run tidy in Notepad++, so I installed it via an external command with the following

  * install pork to sausage plugin

{{:notepad:install_p2s.png?400|}}

  * install chocolatey

    winget install chocolatey

  * install tiny

run cmd.exe as adminstrator

    choco install html-tidy

  * configure pork to sausage for the new command

go to the Port To Sausage, Edit User Commands and add the text to the end of the file

<code>[html-tidy]
progPath=C:\Tools\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows\usr\bin\bash.exe
progCmd=bash -c 'echo $(SELECTION) | tidy 2>/dev/null'
workDir=C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\pork2Sausage\demo\zip.base64
</code>

This command makes use of bash since I couldn't get it to run the text with the tidy command in a single command line, I have used the one from Cmder, depending on what bash you have installed (usually in git-for-windows), the path has to be changed
