I haven't been doing many "difficult" things with BBEdit since I got it but I seem to have thrown myself a curve. I have a large web page, developed over the last couple of years that has gotten rather unwieldy due to several hands being in the "pot"

It's an Embedded Perl document so it has the "usual" embperl constructs. For those unfamiliar with embperl it is a similar form of document to PHP, with escape constructs to shift from Perl to HTML and back.

What I would like to do is "clean up" the formatting and, hopefully, to determine if there are any unbalanced constructs. I'm especially interested in catching something like:

<table>
<tr><td>
<form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Which, I suspect, has happened at least once and, as I understand it, is not legitimate (although the browsers may handle it ...)

I downloaded tidy and ran it but it clearly need a bit more care and feeding on my part to make it do what I want. I'm very willing to delve into that but am I tilting at windmills? I thought I'd throw this out for advice to this group and, hopefully, save some time finding the optimal path. Where should I be concentrating my efforts?

TIA,

Bill W
