Hi Mark, Thank you for your reply. It turns out that I just downloaded the source from a PHP branch closes to the version delivered by SLES 12 and compiled the Tidy module and used it in my system. I reported this as a bug but it took months to get any answer so I moved on. Tidy was one of several modules that were previously available with PHP on SLES but then removed. Not sure why. These modules are often used by various packages that are PHP based.
Thanks again for following up.

It looks like php7-tidy is in the SUSE Package Hub. As such, it's not supported, but installing it won't cause any problems with your systems being considered "supportable" by SUSE. It also means that SUSE Product Management has decided to not include php7-tidy in the SLES product. On the plus side, it appears that it's being kept current on security fixes; a couple of patches were added just 2 weeks ago. You'll need to have your system(s) registered either with SCC, or a local SMT server. The package should be available via one of the SUSE-PackageHub-?? channels.
