Hi All,
Is there any s/w or program or Validator, which removes Non HTML tags introduced by some wizards like MSWord, FrontPage...etc....??

HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/), a free editor, will do this and more.

What non html tags are you referring to

Perhaps HTML Tidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/) will help, as well...

Ah, ok. I wasn't aware of that. Guess there's no need to download HTML Tidy individually, then...

What non html tags are we speaking of I ask again. I am just wondering what microsoft would be putting in there with their wizards.

MS Word puts all kinds of extra comments and tags into an html document it creates and FrontPage is alsmost as bad. BBEdit has a nice Word Cleaner as well. I think even Dreamweaver has a version of "clean up MS Word code"....

Thx to all for your replies.

It would be better if i have it as a library. ofcourse, tidy provides a library. But its not so stable that, i am not able to integrate it with Zope in Unix platform....

any suggestions welcome...

Here is a suggestion dont use frontpage or word, they are notoriously bad editors. You can get a better one as freeware with very little searching. I suggest notepag but if you are into the WYSIYG stuff I suggest dream weaver. One more suggestion would be the coffeecup html editor.

I would not recommend notepad. Do youself a favor and at least get something that numbers the lines. HTML-Kit as Fang recommeded is a much better choice than notepad...

I only suggested notepad because everyone on a windows based machine has it :)

Have any of you heard of NoteTab? I use NoteTab Lite alot, its a great HTML+ editor. www.download.com and search for Notetab to check it out.

I really only use notpad and dreamweaver. Dreamweaver for asp.net (because it has good intellitext) and notepage for everthing else because it does not have any load time (dreamweaver wil put a proc under full load for a few seconds until it is loaded)

I used to use NotePad a great deal, for HTML and Perl. But then my Goode Wyffe and I were working on a web site together and she wanted color coded text so that she could remember to close her tags. We started using HTML Kit and after a while I was hooked - especially when I discovered its spell checking. And now that I've made friends with Perl-IDE I almost never open up NotePad. Such is the way with old friends some times.
