Ephox has integrated W3C's HTML Tidy into our Java-based editor. HTML Tidy gives you the ability to specify output as XHTML 1.0, to convert <b> and <i> to <strong> and <em>, and to convert all 'font' tags to 'span' tags. You can find out more about Tidy at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ but it sounds like it meets your needs - and we expose these features through our API (see http://www.ephox.com/developers/editliveforjava/v2/jsp/webfolder/docs/config /xmldocs/htmlfilter.htm). One word of caution though, Tidy by itself doesn't handle a full range of charactersets nicely, so in our new release we have replaced their string handling with Java's internationalization classes and achieved a massive range of characterset support as a result. For completeness and credibility's sake, our competitors Ektron have also integrated Tidy into their VB-based editor so you can expect to see similar capabilities via their API as well (see http://www.ektron.com/software/released/ewebeditpro/v30/drg/elemen22.htm). RealObjects have announced they plan to integrate Tidy into their upcoming release (see http://www.realobjects.de/english/artikel31_e.htm).
