ok that work not so i like, it break </title> but i has now try with 
<!-- and it works. Hhh funny i swear i search all day break line sed 
and all what i found not work. hhhh maybe i to stupid for google :)

One question i have then im happy. When i delete a html tag, how can
i fill the whitespace?

Example (tidy clean append id="ext">
<a href="whatever" title="whatever" name="ext" id="ext">whatever</a>

i use sed:
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i 's!id="ext"!!g' {} \;

this come out:
<a href="whatever" title="whatever" name="ext" >whatever</a>

But can sed clean all so that is not whitespace in it?

better come out:
<a href="whatever" title="whatever" name="ext">whatever</a>


And last question im happy for first use of sed :)

Can i combined the follow commands to one sed command:

siefke blog $  cat ~/.bin/scripts/webclean 
#!/bin/bash
find -type f -name '*html' -exec tidy -m -config ~/.config/tidy/com {} \;
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i '/^$/d' {} \;
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i 's|<[/]\?div[^>]*>||g' {} \;
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i 's!id="ext"!!g' {} \;
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i 's!id="vid"!!g' {} \;
find -type f -name '*html' -exec sed -i 's!&nbsp;!!g' {} \;
exit
