Grr...stupid crappy source formatting...and a challenge for all!

posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2004 11:30 PM

Typical, I had a method all sorted which let me past code into Dreamweaver in a nice formatted way not perfect but ...now the stupid thing has stopped working...hmm...OK, here's what I need - anyone have a method to do this? I need a tool or some other way to past code straight into Dreamweaver which meets these criteria:

  • Fixed Stylesheet - so not dozens of <p> or <font> tags.
  • Does not use <pre> tag - this is important, pre just sucks for page flow
  • Dynamically converts 'tab' code indents to   tags
  • Makes 'clean' HTML - so no dodgy namespaces etc.

I've tried Roy Osherove's Macro - suffers from using the whole MS word stuff - so plain awful HTML, I can't believe there's not a really elegant solution for doing this - well, not one that I can find. My real ideal would be some sort of button which lets me just copy source into the clipboard - click the button - anywhere you paste it now uses the ultra-clean HTML - no auto-sensing (which has currently messed up for me), nothing, just pure HTML...  Any ideas anyone???
