In top-level posts, automatically replace “div” tags (which screw up the rest of the HTML) with “p”, strip out all the font-specification crap that Microsoft Word and similar apps try to stuff in (the original font is good enough for everyone), and in general auto-simplify the HTML. This will save editors some work.
I request that we don’t have a ‘half HTML’ markup language. If it is html that doesn’t allow font formatting or layout handling then it basically is just not HTML and shouldn’t pretend to be.
A far better alternative is to make the posts use full markdown syntax and a WYSIWYG editor.
