How can I cleanup HTML files?

[jen]

I have some rather large HTML files that are all left justified. As you
would imagine, they are a bear to read. Is there some type of
app/utility that you can run files against that will indent, line-up
tags, etc...?

Thanks folks....I appreciate your time.

Clean the pages with 'Detagger' ( http://www.jafsoft.com/detagger/ ) and
apply CSS for styling.

Yes, indeed. <http://tidy.sourceforge.net> just for more info. And it's
free!

I think the op was talking about the /code/ itself, so Tidy would be the way to go.
Tidy is a command line app, but:

- There is a Tidy implementation in the Firefox extension 'HTML Validator',
where cleaning and indenting can be done from the browser itself:

- There is also a GUI for Tidy (TidyGui). Se http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ for
reference.

Some HTML text editors such as HTMLKit have Tidy implemented in them. I
believe PSPad can also re-format HTML for better readability.
