I know, it's an obnoxious question, but I like to edit HTML both by hand
(e.g. with emacs) and with a WYSIWYG tool.
The problem I keep running into is that the WYSIWYG tool will rewrite the
HTML in ugly and stupid ways. For example:
size="4" face="times, times new roman">hotbot</font></a><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman"> </font><a
href="http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=web"><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman">altavista</font></a><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman"> </font><a
href="http://www.google.com/"><font size="4"
face="times, times new
roman"><strong>google</strong></font></a><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman"> </font><a
href="http://www.findsame.com"><font color="#00FFFF"
size="4" face="times, times new roman">findsame</font></a><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman"> </font><a
href="http://www.excite.com/search_forms/advanced?lang=en&c_type=c_count
ry&c_country=web"><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman">excite</font></a><font
size="4" face="times, times new roman"> </font><a
I mean, how many times do you have to specify the same font?

P.S. Bonus points for a tool that can clean up the above code.
