User's problems with Tidy go a long way back, and Sigil is greatly improved in recent versions. I still occasionally have odd codes inserted without my asking (with Tidy turned off); the most common ones by far are inserting codes for < or > in strange places. Of course the < or > then appears unexpectedly and must be eliminated. In proofing, if I notice the problem, then I search all files for the added code and usually several locations are found, and can easily be deleted. If Sigil indicated there was an error, then I could have manually corrected it, but the cause of adding the < > is never noted by Sigil. I think they are added when I've corrected all the errors found by Sigil, and there is a final error noted at the very end of the document. I'm unable to find a cause at that point, so I must choose automatic correction - voila! Probably the < > are added somewhere.
