Clean up ugly WYSIWYG HTML code? Python or *nix utility

Clean up ugly WYSIWYG HTML code? Python or *nix utility

2024/10/5 5:24:36

I'm finally upgrading (rewriting ;) ) my first Django app, but I am migrating all the content.

I foolishly gave users a full WYSIWYG editor for certain tasks, the HTML code produced is of course terribly ugly with more extra tags than content.

Does anyone know of a library or external shell app I could use to clean up the code?

I use tidy sometimes, but as far as I know that doesn't do what I'm asking. I want to simplify all the extra span and other garbage tags. I cleaned the most offensive offending styles with some regex, but I it would take a really long time to do anything more using just regex.

Any ideas?

Answer

You could also take a look at Bleach a white-list based HTML sanitizer. It uses html5lib to do what Kyle posted, but you'll get a lot more control over which elements and attributes are allowed in the final output.
