the code can be GoLive style (horrendous) or another style... you
can customize it enough to make it quote attributes and use
lowercase in the tags... if you've done this, you're off to a good
start...
however, it will not create tight code or ideal pages... it relies very
heavily on complex tables to match your slices (i've found i can
almost always simplify a table), and unless you're an IR maven,
you'll be exporting all sorts of images you don't need, and not
trimming others you could trim... the rollover code is pretty bad,
too...
all in all, while it may seem easier, it would probably take a lot of
work to clean the code, configure IR the way you want it, clean up
the images (trimming, removing, etc.) in order to get tight,
compliant code... i'd stick to hand-coding...
you can see an old rant about a poorly-done IR-sliced site in the
