In this case, there is a lot of code to be annihilated that include
carriage returns.

Consider a snippet like this:

<table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="2" height="13">
 <tr>
   <td width="50%" valign="middle" align="center" height="5">
     <applet code="fphover.class" width="330" height="28">
       <param name="textcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
       <param name="color" value="#800080">
       <param name="hovercolor" value="#FF00FF">
       <param name="effect" value="glow">
       <param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="information_main.htm">
       <param name="text" value="Back to INFORMATION PAGE">
     </applet>
   </td>
   <td width="50%" valign="middle" align="center" height="5">
     <applet code="fphover.class" width="330" height="28">
       <param name="textcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
       <param name="color" value="#008080">
       <param name="hovercolor" value="#00CC99">
       <param name="effect" value="glow">
       <param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="times_main.htm">
       <param name="text" value="OPENING TIMES & APPOINTMENTS">
     </applet>
   </td>
 </tr>
</table>

Now to delete such mess but not delete other tables or messes .. I could either:

A) Think of some unique matching key so that whole thing gets deleted
somehow in CLI. (500 Brain-KCals)

B) Or I could copy and paste on some nifty GUI and click Replace. (10

FrontPage code = Pathological throughout.
