Summary: Strip HTML formatting tags after importing pages designed in external tool

Description brviking 2005-03-21 11:22:47 UTC 
Resume: I would like to remove formatting tags added automatically by external
tools (like Quanta Plus, NVU or DreamWeaver) from HTML files.

Motivation: Since I can't visually design JSP pages in NetBeans, I do it using
external tools. Some tools add a lot of <font>, <div>, <b>, <strong> and so on
to generated HTML, where I do prefer using stylesheets. Other tools add a mix of
formatting tags and inline stylesheets.

Proposition: I think NetBeans could have a refactoring tool that could transform
<font>, <b> and so on into stylesheets, or just strip them out of the code.
Optionally the developer could choose if what formatting tags he want to strips,
and even if he want to stip inline styles.
The ideal tool will be capable to move formatting tags (<font>, <b>, <i> and so
on) into inline stylesheets, and the move inline styles into <styles type...>
header section, or just drop them out.

Thanks,

Richter
