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.

Works well for me

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.

Unfortunately, this app does not live up to expectations. It persistently removes the closing </body></html> sequence at the end of my files, which is, of course, very bad. It thinks <div id="something"> is invalid XHTML, because "id" would be an illegal term. It misinterprets XHTML 1.1 for 1.0 and find errors where W3C and WDG find none. Should have been a must-have-app, turns out to be a must-avoid-app instead. Too bad.

a good start to a useful utility. It works fine on small html files, but larger files all Save to a size of zero bytes.

you running at least Mac OS X 10.2 or later? I don't have access to a pre-Jaguar machine, hence Tidy is compiled with the latest Apple developer tools. This unfortunately means that Tidy will not run on pre-Jaguar systems.

downloaded it from the link below, and it didn't work - just started up, then immediately quit again. Tried it both by copying it to /Applications/ and running it, and running it from the mounted .dmg - no go. Tried opening it both with a double click and by dragging a file onto it, and it just started up, then disappeared from the Dock again.

BBEdit plugin for years and this is an unexpected pleasure -- an OS X GUI version in Cocoa. Fantastic! Not only is this a great way to ensure compliant and accessible pages, but it's also a handy way to convert pages to XHTML or to rid your old pages of font tags. Four stars and a freeware bonus makes five, now bring us the batch features!
