Clean HTML Editor

Format your content safely, without unwanted code
html clean guide

This editor solves a specific problem: most rich text editors generate bloated HTML full of inline styles, classes, and attributes that break CMS forms or create inconsistent formatting.

Paste content from Word, Google Docs, or any website. Format it the way you need — bold, headings, lists, alignment. Then copy clean, minimal HTML that works reliably in Formidable Forms, WordPress editors, or any CMS, with no layout issues and no submission errors.

CLEAN HTML EDITOR

Format your text and get clean HTML

What makes it different:

  • Outputs only structural HTML (paragraphs, headings, lists, bold, italic, alignment)
  • Strips all style attributes, classes, and IDs automatically
  • Two cleanup modes: remove formatting or strip all HTML tags
  • Line height control (rare in web editors)
  • Font size adjustment on selected text
  • Text transformation (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize)
  • No external dependencies or libraries

Technical approach: Built with vanilla JavaScript using contenteditable and document.execCommand. The cleanup function uses regex to remove problematic attributes while preserving semantic structure. Total weight: ~10KB.

The editor solves a common workflow problem: bridging the gap between rich text editing and clean HTML output for form-based content management systems.
