Yes that the website more open security lacks. I can understand 
when you has bigger sites and more as 10 articles for day. I has before
run PHP script and i hate it. Not all are programmer and i think self
when my blog was running i feel not well because not know is a lack or
not. Now i use Nikola (Python Static Blog Generator) and be happy. Only
the code i hate when is not to read. That's why i generate the page, let
run tidy but tidy only should clean and no they set divs and ids. That's
why i think sed was best option to fix it. I has onboard and can direct
use. Only when i see what people make with it i know typical linux thinking
must begin to study for use.

No Problem, then ask not when need help. When not find i can use
geany. So much is it not, but i think for what i need a computer when
at end all must make manual? Not all are profis to search this ultimative
tool for a specific job. When sed not the right tool for html pages, why
sed page is built with this tool? To understand sed sure must understand 
regex, for understand regex you need study. Im a hobby computer user, so 
i work in a construction company. I can you sure explain which tools you
need to build a house, for a pc i search the easy way without much install
program on my system. That's why i use Linux, i can use software without
much trash. 

Im open for all advice, i swear and im ever impressed in people which 
understand. For that link which u write say only explain so what i see
a really tool they not called by a name. Or im blind, but i read the
article later when i has other work fix. 


Thank you for help & Nice Day
Silvio
