Many of us are sensitive to our development environments (atleast I am!), and forcing a particular choice of editor would not be a good idea IMHO :-) The reason I don't want to use any IDE for this cleanup task, and instead a tool like Tidy, is that things can be automated much more easily. We can schedule clean-ups periodically, add targets to the build process to do it automatically -- there's a lot of flexibility in how we go about it. Using an XSL transform for cleanup is attractive because we don't need any external utility; Forrest is all about XML processing anyywas :-) So I'm +1 on either Tidy or XSL (personally, I prefer Tidy since in my experience its much smarter and faster). -0 on jEdit plugins and such. -- Web/Blog/Gallery: floatingsun.net
