Cleaning up HTML

Dreamweaver has a Clean Up HTML command that strips out nonessential code, empty tags and nested font tags. It will only work on one page at a time, not on an entire site.

• open a web page to be cleaned
• select Commands --> Clean Up HTML
• turn on the options that you want:
  Empty Tags - deletes any tags that don't modify anything
  Redundant Nested Tags - deletes tags that appear within other tags of the same type
  Non-Dreamweaver HTML Comments - deletes any comments not inserted while using Dreamweaver
  Dreamweaver HTML Comments - deletes comments inserted from Dreamweaver
  Specific Tag(s) - deletes specified HTML tags
  Combine Nested <font> Tags when Possible - combines them into a single tag
  Show Log on Completion - to see a report of all the changes made
• Click OK to clean up the page
• to undo changes, keep the page open and type Ctrl-Z
