Tidy, anyone?

Unfortunately, you're always going to run into problems,
especially with <MvIF>. You can run into situations where
depending on the conditions you may have multiple start or
end tags. One example would be the <body> tag.

On the site I run, I can output 1 of 3 different body tags.
One has no parameter, next has just the basic, and the
third has a javascript onLoad(). Yet there is only 1
closing </body> tag. This confuses Tidy. Also with <MvGO>,
the tags can span multiple files. An extreme example would
be if I had those <body> tags in a file called header.mv
and the final closing </body> tag in a file called
footer.mv.

Unless there has been a radical change to Tidy, I think
you're stuck doing it by hand.

Not sure if this is the same type of tool as Tidy, but you might want to
look at Pretty HTML.=20
I can't seem to find the page for the Author, but here's a link where
you can download it:
<A HREF ="http://www.ntware.com/workstation/html_accessories_6.html">http://www.ntware.com/workstation/html_accessories_6.html</A>
(halfway down the page)

I like it cause it's customizable, lets me add tags (like MvIF) and
define the formatting for the tags.

Good luck.
