What’s that?!!! Some new religion formed by people who loves text? Or some cult you see so very often sprouting on the Internet? Or someone sent by god to clean up our mess. Na, I will never introduce to you crap now, would I? Textism is just a little website designed for anyone using Microsoft Word as their primary HTML editor/webpage creator. What it does is to help you clean up Word’s HTML page. If you had done your webpage (in HTML format) using Word, then you will realize that Word somehow adds a lot of unnecessary tags in your HTML file. This makes it very difficult for you to troubleshoot any coding problems which may occur. And worst, it makes your file size bigger, hence you are wasting expensive bandwidth to serve your files. You will be surprised to see that all these useless tags can take up more than half the file size! It’s just amazing that Microsoft simple loves to add crap into their files instead of optimizing it. A few years back when I was still using Word to create my webpages, I opened the files with my text editor and got a shock of my life. It was so messy that I gave up on manually editing it!
This is where Textism’s Word HTML Cleaner comes in handy. What this website does is to clean up any word HTML file. It gets rid of most of the stupid Microsoft tags in your file and this will help reduce your file size. However, not all the Word’s propriety tags are supported which means that some of the tags will not be touched while others may be affected by the stripping.
And all these are pretty easy. All YOU have to do is to upload the Word HTML file and the software will do it’s work and return back to you a streamlined and clean HTML file. That’s it. You won’t need to open up your HTML file and start manually removing any redundant tags yourself. It’s done automatically! Or I could suggest you another method. Use a proper text editor to do your HTML coding. Those WYSIWYG software are meant for the beginners and after a while, you will find them useless. And for god’s sake, why use Microsoft Word?
