Fixing Bad Word Output With 'HTML Tidy'
Copying text from Microsoft Word and Pasting it into your WYSIWYG equipped Manila website used to work perfectly, and still does if your version of Word is older then 2000 or XP. For some reason copying text from MS Word 2000+ produces a ton of very useless, and I would consider poorly formed HTML. The usual result of this poorly formatted HTML is to have your page peppered with weird tags and odd characters. Most people who run into this problem spend a lot of time fixing the anomalies that show up in their source code by hand.A friend of mine pointed out this site to me today... and it might be a solution for those people who have battled this problem.
I have put together a small tutorial on how you might use HTML Tidy to help Windows users who run into this problem. now you can't say I never did anything for Windows users ":)"
