Convert Word Documents to HTML

Cleans up the otherwise-ugly output generated by Microsoft Word when you use the File -> Save As HTML option and optionally includes Twitter Bootstrap. Relies heavily on WordPress's texturize engine and internal encoding functions to do the heavy lifting. It also converts footnotes into a format compatible with Bootstrap's tooltips.

• Normalizes encoding and line endings
• Removes uneccessary tags and attributes, such as inline CSS and extraneous IDs
• Cleans up encoding problems and HTML entities
• Balances tags to ensure valid HTML
• Typesets everything via the Texturize engine
• Converts Word's footnotes into a format compatible with Bootstrap's tooltips
• Strips HTML comments
• Removes consecutive spaces
• Removes empty paragraph tags
• Removes the otherwise-hard word wrap
• Converts <b>'s to <strong>'s and <i>'s to <em>'s
• Optionally includes a stand-alone version of Twitter Bootstrap
