Generating HTML

We have many different ways to write HTML for websites an HTML. These days we don't necessarily have to learn HTML or hire someone to write HTML code for you. There are a whole lot of tools that allow you you to assemble a web page and then upload it without having to write a single HTML tag. The issue is that you cannot always get what you want this way. Another option is using Microsoft Word to write the document the way you want and then use Word to translate the file to HTML afterward. You can make it work. However the HTML generated is not pretty or elegant. The issue is that it does not make valid official HTML code however most web browsers does work. But I have found another option if the following is true:

1. You cannot write your own HTML.
2. You have to use Microsoft Word.

You can use a program to clean up the HTML after Word Generates it. I found a great program called Detagger and it is easy to use. It can be used to fix the HTML file and make it work.
