I noticed the following:
1. no man page (something cmdline folks expect) or even a --help flag to
provide basic usage info about the program. The help2man tool might
help.
2. Maybe dependencies should be clearly stated in the install guide..
README.. web page:
. nokogiri
. tidy
. Ruby 1.9
I was unable to test further since debian stable does not provide Ruby
1.9 by default and even after installling it, I would have had to make
manual symlink adjustments.
Lastly, to cover google's search engine capabilities, perhaps a language
flag (any, english, german.. etc.) might be of interest to some users..?
