The trick is to figure out what the problems are and then apply those fixes to all your pages using BBEdit's multi-file search/replace. However, finding the errors is easier than fixing them.
This pattern "<font.*?>\s*<font" will find a nested font tag. However, to fix it you need to merge the parameters. In your example you'd want to end up with <font size="3" face="Verdana,...">. If this same nested pair occurs a lot then you can search/replace it. There probably are only so many combinations throughout your site. The pattern "<([a-zA-Z0-9]+ .*)>\s*<\1>" will find an instance of one tag followed immediately by the same tag with the same parameters. The internal tag is unnecessary, but automatically deleting the tag without affecting the nesting is difficult. You can also do this <div> specific by hardcoding the first part of the pattern "<(div .*)>\s*<\1>" As someone else mentioned what you might consider is modernizing the code generally. If you search for that face="Verdana..." string you'll probably find that it has been inserted many times in your code. Instead you can create a class in your CSS and work through the site applying that style to a new <span> or even to the surrounding <div> and cleaning out the old code. That will make a more maintainable site moving forward. [fletcher] > On Feb 20, 2017, at 9:22 AM, James Lee <purdue...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I still have some code created buy Adobe GoLive editing.
