Word does add a lot of needless fluff, like spans to define the language, those are a pain to remove in Notepad++ as its regex engine doesn't handle newlines or non-greedy matches. Sigil, OTOH, has a regex engine that will remove them easily - set regular expression and minimal matching, Find string
<span xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US">(.*)</span>
Replace string

Sigil also automatically does the HTML Tidy xhtml conversion for you. |
I agree that Sigil is good to tidy up and convert the html files. However, the problem is that i have many chapters in my doc. It is hard to convert the html files and tidy up them one by one. Are there any programmatic methods which can do all the conversion and tidying work all toether?
