Software to Convert HTML case?

[ancarett]

I have two sites chockful of handcoded pages (compliant to HTML 3.2) which I want to bring up to something approaching current HTML standards. Oy! I realize that my decision all those years ago to code my HTML in uppercase has now come back to haunt me as it's suggested for forward compatibility to use lowercase.

Short version: anyone know of some software that will do a good job of automating the reformat withOUT messing up my lovely formatting (especially my tables, I love my tables).

I have Homesite as bounty from some consulting that I do. Would this solve the problem in a nice way? Or is there some other software I should get?

Dreamweaver 4 or UltraDev 4 (Macromedia products) have a great feature to do just that in 2 seconds without messing-up your original code and structure.

Good Luck :)

You can download a trial version (time limited, not feature limited) of Dreamweaver 4 from macromedia.

I've found HTML-Kit [chami.com] to be a very valuable (and free) tool.

HTML Tidy from the W3C web site will do it. [w3.org...]

Homesite has a feature under EDIT/CONVERT TAG CASE that should do the job.

At least that's true for older versions -- I assume the feature carries through, even if it has moved to another menu.

I have it on disk and barely use it, but I just checked - NoteTab Lite not only converts the case of HTML tags, but also converts directly to XHTML.

[notetab.com...]

It also does a word and character count, and changes platform characteristics of documents.

It's free.

...and for just $20 (last time I checked), you can get the pro version...it's well worth it.

We use NoteTab Pro for almost all authoring. Yes it will convert upper to lower case tags..etc etc. Becuase it is very extensible it's "clips" functionality, which users contribute to and make available on the Web site, you can perform many useful admin tasks like this. I find Note Tab's Global Search and Replace extremely powerful though deceptively simple.

Having said that, most good freeware and commercial HTML programs will be able to do this.

Notetab is a user interface based on the HTML Tidy program listed above. There are several others.
