This makes it difficult (if not impossible) to explain how to use exceptions because you cannot show a meaningful example. As of today, Tidy throws Exceptions in a object context. It's really crazy to need to mix both types of error handling within the same block of code. Completely agree

I agree it's a problem, but as you know, for BC reasons we can't make all internal functions throw exceptions. I do suggest however, that new object oriented extensions throw exceptions in object context. This isn't a BC break and makes sense as it's used in an object-oriented context. In any case, I understand that throwing an exception from user-land error handling works as expected so this can partially solve the problem with internal functions too. Andi
