Product Description:

When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy editing into nicely laid-out markup? Well now there is! This Cocoa implementation of Dave Raggett's HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities. See http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ for everything you need to know about Tidy. Download THIS if you want to do it the Macintosh Way.

Balthisar Tidy ReviewI love this program - Version: 0.5, 6/6/2004 01:54AM PST

I can't express how much I love this little program. One of my main problems is clearing out all the bloated code that word generates when making HTML files as those are the files i'm always given to start with.
I can take a 1.5 MB HTML file created by word. I drop it into bathisar and 15 seconds later its reduced to 300 K... Unfricking believable...
Only troubles I have are of course with tables which I wind up redoing but heck they are tables and no matter what I do I wind up redoing those.
quotation marks always wind up messed up to, but thats a simple fine and replace in dreamweaver and thats fixed. Either way this is the fastest, easiest way to cleanup HTML.. ESPECIALLY if you are working with word created files.
I hope to god this is actually still under some process of improvement. I would gladly pay money to see future and better versions of this, due to the simplicity and the time and frustration it saves me.
The batch feature doesn't seem to work but who cares. If you highlight 20 files and open all in balthisar you then just hit CMD+S as fast as you cand and they are cleaned and saved... Might as well be a batch process its so easy and fast.

Balthisar Tidy ReviewWorks well for me - Version: 0.5, 12/10/2003 01:20AM PST

David S--2008
Just used this app to recover layout on HTML 4.01 Transitional pages which had been optimised using HTML-Optimiser Pro and accidentally overwritten original. Worked very well (especially when turned off the 'convert &' option) and revalidated OK. Useful addition to the toolkit. Using OS 10.2.6.
