I had reason to use it again, on an impossible WORD doc, mid-June 2008 and January 2009. Last wrote a note above in Dec '07.

OUTSTANDING !

Just wanted to thank you again.

The list problem is solved: I have deleted three lines from the code in the source page and use the modified page off-line. Once again, a piece of (commented!) code that saves a lot of production time. Better than anything I have found in several hours of search, be it commercial or not. Congratulations, and thank you!

Hi,

Very useful script. I wonder if you could offer a version without the conversion of plain text lists to html lists. I tried to clean some texts and everything works amazingly well except that all the numbered titles begin with "1." instead of their original numbers.

Anyway, great stuff! Thanks!

Connor, this code is proving to be very helpful time and time again. I thank you for development of this script and providing it through your website. In the version I’m currently using I’ve included some additional coding that allows for an interface with various options. In my desire to go a little deeper with these options I was wondering at what point in the script could a function be inserted which would allow me to manipulate the various arrays and variables. I’ve tried inserting one at various points in the script, but I wasn’t able to position it at the correct location. I hope what I’m requesting makes sense. If you have any suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate them! Thank you!

I've spent a long time looking for a WORD html cleaner and all of them, including Tidy, gave me a universe of woes, including bloated code and strange interpretations, making me just clean it up manually instead whenever I received a huge zillion-worded WORD (Microsoft tries to live up to that name) html doc to post.

Yours did exactly what I wanted RIGHT AWAY. I thought something must be wrong, but nope, you'd really cleaned all that gunk while leaving the meat intact just as laid out. MANY thanks !

(Tidy refused to even try, by the way.)

Thank you for your script, it is great!

I had a small problem however: not all of Word's special characters are converted, because they are in fact just normal letters, but in Word's Symbol font. E.g. a for alpha.

These can be replaced using regular expressions.

Just wanted to let you know that I use the html cleaner for documents on my website. Thanks!

It took me a really long time, but I’ve implemented case insensitivity now. It will convert all tags and attribute names to lower case, but it won’t remove them just because they’re upper case.

Thank you for applying the fix so quickly! Much appreciated. So far so good! Though, the only other thing, if I could make one more suggestion? Can the script be setup so that it’s case insensitive. As of now, if the HTML code has any uppercase tags or attributes, all of the tags are removed. Now, I’m all for clean code, don’t get me wrong, but that’s just too clean Anyway, although I’ve got a script that will convert all tags to lowercase, all of the attributes are left in uppercase and will be removed if not specified in the arrays(as uppercase). If case insensitivity could be integrated into your current script, that would be terrific!! Thank you

Glad you find it so useful Greg!

The problem you mentioned has now been fixed.
