I use HTML Tidy http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
It's integrated into a coupld of editors and can be integrated into many
more. I use it stand alone , with Bluefish and XEmacs. There are M$ and
Linux(Unix) versions.

If you work out how to make it leave ascii encoded characters like #123;
alone, let me know.

Cheers
