Cleaning up source code
Namo WebEditor can clean up and/or reformat messy source code in documents created in other programs.
Namo WebEditor can perform the following cleanup functions:
- Remove proprietary tags added by Microsoft Word
- Remove empty elements (such as <a></a>)
- Remove redundantly nested tags (such as <b>Hello <b>world</b></b>)
- Remove optional closing tags (such as closing </p> tags)
- Integrate adjacent <font> tags where possible
- Remove comments
- Remove occurrences of a specified tag
- Remove unnecessary empty lines
Namo WebEditor can reformat source code in the following ways:
- Wrap long lines after a specified number of characters
- Indent child elements by a specified number of spaces or tabs
- Capitalize tag names
- Capitalize attribute names
To clean up or reformat the current document’s source code
- On the Home menu, go to Edit, and then click Clean Up HTML.
- Select the desired options, and then click OK.
After performing a cleanup operation, if you do not like the result, immediately return to Edit mode and use the Undo command. This is the only way to reverse the effects of a cleanup or reformatting operation, short of manual editing.
