Thanks for the reply. I had looked at the JTidy project. Unfortunately their current stable release removes empty tags which is no good for me, and too many errors are reported trying to build the latest source (which includes a config option for not deleting empty tags, if I understand correct). Seems I'll have to write something to pre-parse the docs.
