 = Ruby script to remove crummy HTML

 A simple, but effective script to remove crummy HTML (particularly from Word) that is useful for site editors, intranet managers, etc. Copy the text to your clipboard, run cleanup.rb (maybe from a quick launcher like Launchy) and then paste the text back in.

 * remove style, class, type, align, width, height, originalpath, originalattribute and   valign attributes
 * strip o:p, div, font, span, sup, body, html, title, head, meta
 * script, style tags
 * strip <?xml tag
 * strip !DOCTYPE declaration
 * strip Word place XML <st1:>
 * strip empty paragraphs
 * strip <p><b></b></p> tag clusters
 * strip <u> tags

text = text.gsub(/\s(class|type|align|style|width|height|valign|originalpath|originalattribute)=(['"](.*?)['"]|[^ >]*)/i,"").
	gsub(/<\/?(div|o:p|font|span|sup|body|html|title|head|script|style|meta)[^>]*>(&nbsp;)*/i,"").
