Use option literal-attributes: yes (by default no) to not replace double space by single space inside attributes (where it should matters).

A typical case where you have something like :

<a href="/somewhere  .htm">click here</a>

And you need to keep the double space for the link to still works.

In most places in HTML, double spaces are treated as single spaces by the browser. That is likely why HTML Tidy replaces them: they just take space in your HTML file for no benefit. You need non-breaking spaces if you actually want two spaces to appear.
