New from Dynamically Typed today, there's more infromation from Harry about a tool that's becoming more and more widely used - Tidy (a PHP extension that is a binding for the Tidy HTML clean and repair utility which allows you to not only clean and otherwise manipluate HTML documents, but also traverse the document tree.).

In this new posting, he briefly mentions some of the benefits that Tidy has including the fact that it is smart enough to be able to extract legacy HTML "styling" tags and convert them to CSS as well as other nice features like the Word 2000 mode which suggest a tool written for the real world.

I can see how this tool can be very useful in the right hands, but it can also be abused just the same. There's something learned in making your own (X)HTML and learning the ins and outs of the craft before you lean on a tool such as this. It could be like not learning to count add and just using a calculator instead...
