In addition you have to take into account, that Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work). There is version 5.8.0 only in Debian experimental, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tidy-html5
Only if the version in Debian experimental works well that it is copied into unstable or testing, then Ubuntu will take that version also into its development release.

If you need version 5.8.0 immediately. you have to find it in a PPA (don't think that it already exists, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=tidy-html5 for a list of potential candidates) or build that version yourself.
Eventually you can directly install it from https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/releases/tag/5.8.0

Can you help with this problem?
