Dreamweaver 3 can use Allaire's HomeSite instead of the built-in HTML editor, and HomeSite provides support for HTML Tidy (you can replace the included tidy.exe with a newer version and you can create a custom tidy.cfg of your preferences)... It should not be all that difficult to teach those of colleagues that like using Dreamweaver to keep a little bit of discipline and tidy up their documents through HomeSite... Also, as far as I know, Dreamweaver provides a function (under Menu/Extras maybe) that combines redundant font tags and also pretty-prints the code... So, ideally, the process of creating a pretty and valid HTML document with dreamweaver would be: make your layout, fill it with content, clean up with dreamweavers function in "Extras"(?), send it through tidy. This should give optimal results (regarding the circumstances). sebastian -- Sebastian Lange http://www.sl-chat.de/ Maybe the first chat site that validates as HTML 4.0 even though user input may contain HTML codes.
