Let's agree to disagree Jochem...."pretty OK" is not in my
vocabulary.....but striving for perfection is ;-)

An automated process cannot make the types of changes (which are human
judgement calls) I mentioned.

No process can say "hey that doesn't look right and I think I'll make it
all caps for better emphasis".....or add whitespace....hard wrap a
line...and so on....

...but each to their own....just providing the OP with options and
reasons why ;-)

FYI...this has nothing to do with proper HTML (but I understand what
you're talking about).

Cheers
