    HTML Tidy or TagSoup would probably have served you better, rather than
    groveling over the code bit by bit. (HTML Tidy can do more cleaning,
    but it sometimes loops or delivers garbage if the HTML is sufficiently
    broken. TagSoup never gives up and never loops, but doesn't know
    as much about HTML.)
