Example 3, Cleaning HTML with Images and/or Tables

Example 3: Clean HTML Code

Files with Images and Tables

If there are images and/or tables in an HTML document, try the Word2Clean online conversion tool (new window) even though the document is in HTML format.

In this process, the references to images are retained. It eliminates the need to insert images into the updated file.

The tables paste back and keep the table header tags including scope if they have been assigned, the width and height of cells, and keeps the return/breaks when there are multiple lines in a cell. This method requires fewer editing changes than other methods.

Go to D2L, locate the topic, and select Edit HTML.
