Re: Web Writing Tips - Cleaning HTML
Nice post Gerry! One thing I sometimes do if I have a word .doc (or other messy format) that I want to turn into HTML is paste everything into the code view of Dreamweaver, then use the design view to space it out properly, using the original .doc as a reference (luckily I have 2 screens to make it easy). This way, I don't have to correct any code because only the text gets copied - i just go through and fix up the appearance - paragraph spacing, headers, quotes, etc.. usually I find it faster than trying to edit faulty code. But in other scenarios I inevitably run into many of the things you've listed, so it's good to have a reference sheet.
