[thelist] CSS and deprecated <font> used within sentence

[Robert Goodyear]

I think HTML Tidy does a pretty good job of filtering and converting all font
declarations to CSS styles, including spans, divs and so on. I've used it as a plugin to
Ultraedit32 on PC and on the Mac with BBEdit.

You could find it on download.com I'm sure.
