Subject: [internetworkers] Getting rid of extra font tags?
[snip[
Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning up this HTML-mess, other than 
editing every page by hand?
[snip]

If you have access to Dreamweaver 3 or better...

Open the file -> Commands -> Clean up HTML
select Combine Nested <font> Tags when Possible
OR
set Specific Tag(s) as FONT

This -might- take several passes.  

Someone on this list might have a copy and a soft spot for bad markup :)

Otherwise, if you can find the regex for the font type problem

$ cp file.html file.html.bak
$ perl -pi -e 's/<fonttags>//g' file.html
repeat as needed...
