triskellianI get sneezes and magpies confused.
'One for a wish, two for a kiss, three for a letter, four for something better'
'One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told'
I have a feeling the first is sneezes and the second magpies, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know? And do you know any other counting rhymes of the sort?
In other news, my new favourite piece of software is Homesite. My main project over the summer is taking a website made up of over 2,000 files, shoehorning it into CSS and templates, and completely redoing the navigation. I've just discovered, buried deep in a menu, the ability to remove all font tags at the press of one button. Bliss :-)

Date: 2003-07-11 08:18 am (UTC)One of the configuration options is:
word-2000: bool
If set to yes, Tidy will go to great pains to strip out all the surplus stuff Microsoft Word 2000 inserts when you save Word documents as "Web pages". The default is no. Note that Tidy doesn't yet know what to do with VML markup from Word, but in future I hope to be able to map VML to SVG.
Microsoft has developed its own optional filter for exporting to HTML, and the 2.0 version is much improved. You can download the filter free from the Microsoft Office Update site.
