That utility is called HTML Tidy and is at: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/

From that page you can also find a link to a Windows GUI version of the command line tool. It's a really neat, useful program for both validation and correction.

immediately to change some of the text in the pages. It was in word so I said 'save as html' and then we'll hack it into the database pages. Foolish me. Word inserts many strange characters into it's version of HTML. One of them being ? character 0x92. This causes the page to start flinging out save as dialogs.

Can someone enlighten me as to what characters may be safely embedded/used in Zope DTML. We figured 0x92 fairly easily. The next document had something else weird and I haven't yet found out what.

There's utility somewhere, IIRC, that fixes all those wierd chars from Windows in HTML. Try searching through Freshmeat.
