Copy your HTML into wordpad
go to FILE > REPLACE
replace two spaces with no spaces, click replace all
if you want to make it even harder to read the HTML delete all line breaks. You may also be thinking about using CSS and as much use of external files as possible so that when the page is saved people cannot rip the pages off one by one

Uhh...I'VE never done it, but a friend told me you could.

Be careful here, because if you had any places where there two spaces between words in your text, the words would end up running together. It would be safer to replace two spaces with one space, and do several passes.
This won't protect your code from being "borrowed", but it does reduce code bloat a bit to make your pages download faster.
Not really! I can download a 270 page site in less than five minutes through my FP import feature. And, it will grab most, if not all, of the supporting files with the exception of anything that is within a javascript link like rollover images.
Hmmm, I was waiting for that one to come up. Using two spaces between sentences is a carry over from the days when we had nothing but monospaced fonts to work with. Monospaced meaning the space between each font character is the same, including punctuation.
When I have clients provide me with content, I give them a set of instructions to follow for when they are setting it up. Part of those instructions tell them not to use double spaces between sentences.
Removing that extra space between sentences is a good move as it is one more byte of information that does not need to be there. Unless of course your site utilizes a monospaced font like Courier than the double spaces between sentences are mandatory!
with over 270 pages at the moment and more to come, that could take a while.
Not really. A site ripper will do the job easily. Listen, if someone wants to steal, they're going to steal from you. Sure you can make it more difficult, but the bottom line is that locks don't keep burglars out.
Unfortunately, the most effective defense against thievery, copyright infringement, plagarism, etc., is a good attorney and your own vigilence. :(
...for those who are tired of scrolling through hundreds of lines of HTML to find that one section of code that does what you want, search no more! Simply highlight the area of Web page that you want to see the source for, right-click on it and select View Partial Source.
Agreed Laisha. Especially with tools like these floating around.
<off to play around with Homesite to see if it does this...>
for this i use ultraedit feature" replace in FILES" - choose directory or files and it will do replacement without opening and displaying all files. Very good feature, i use it often when i make mispelling.

Im just thinking that would be handy. For instance, I applied my first CSS this week, and it involves changing a <body*stuff> tag to <body>
If such software could edit it over many files without and do it all by itself i wanna know about it!!! Makes replacing stuff a breeze
Do this in HomeSite and you can select it does every page in your site by using the extended replace. It's also alot quicker.
for your case (body) this feature would work great!
