"""
Tidy can now perform wonders on HTML saved from Microsoft Word 2000! Word
bulks out HTML files with stuff for round-tripping presentation between
HTML and Word. If you are more concerned about using HTML on the Web, check
out Tidy's "Word-2000" config option! Of course Tidy does a good job on
Word'97 files as well!
