[thelist] tidy config? (html 2 xhtml)

I'm using Dave Raggett's Tidy (now on sourceforge:
http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ ) to convert some html to xhtml.
My html is nominally xhtml - but it incorporates html fragments outside
of my control (CMS-like output), so I'm running it through tidy to make
sure. And it's wreaking havoc with the templates.
I'm finding it's trimming empty elements (e.g. <link />, <br />, <img />
tags) and my entities. That seems like the sort of thing I ought
to be able to configure - those are by no means junk elements. But I
must be missing it if the option exists.
I'm invoking tidy.exe like so:
tidy.exe -i -asxhtml
If I leave warnings on, (by ommitting the -q switch) it reports:
line 422 column 69 - Warning: trimming empty <img>
etc.
any ideas?
thanks
Sam
