Converting HTML tags to lowercase...

My company is in the process of converting all the HTML pages that it has (thousands of them) to XHTML. Is there a tool out there that I can make all the tags lowercase in many HTML files at once? They use homesite now, and it has a lowercase tool, but it can only be run on 1 file, and there is no way that this could be done one by one. Any help is appreciated...

Thanks..

AJ

Expression Web will do a search and replace in source code and case sensitive.

If I remember correctly, HTML coding isn't case sensitive.

Well yes and now. You should use lower case HTML if you plan on using XHTML as your DOCTYPE.

Also, on *NIX, file names are case sensitive. So if you save a file About.html, you need to point to

you can also use regular expression + a free text editor that support regular expression.

Will do the job in less then what you think and for free.

Also they want to convert HTML to XHTML and lower case are a must specially for tag names. in HTML you can use <P></P> but in XHTML things are pretty different.

Also you need to know that <br> needs to be converted in <br />, <input></input> to <input />, <img></img> to <img />, those are called self closing tags and there are also few more still.

Yes I did that for an intere web application package using regular expressions and I had lot of fun Smile
