Tidy Up Web Page Errors


If you create simple Web pages by hand, chances are good that your HTML is as neat as a pin. But if you use a WYSIWYG editor, your pages are very likely to be filled with unnecessary tags, convoluted code, and

outright errors that prevent them from displaying properly in some browsers. Dave Raggett's HTML Tidy freeware fixes errors, replaces complex font attributes with style sheets, and indents tags for readability. The 136KB command-line utility even straightens out Word 2000's Byzantine Web formats. As lead architect of the HTML 4.0 spec, Raggett should know his tags. You can download HTML Tidy off our cover CD or from Raggett's site at www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy.
