source

When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if there
was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy
editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is! Dave Raggett's
HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also works great on the
atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and
conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further
attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities.

Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your
attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is
listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the
problem lies in your markup. Tidy won't generate a cleaned up version when
there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These are logged
as "errors" rather than "warnings".

BBTidy is a BBEdit (and BBEdit Lite) plugin for Mac OS designed to check
and correct HTML and XML source. It is based on the freely available "tidy"
program by Dave Raggett ().
