    Converting html markup to xhtml won't make it any cleaner. There is no way a program would be able to determine what you wanted and what you didn't. Just rewrite it.

    Its always better to code manually, thats the best way.

    You are probably hearing about tidyHTML. Tidy can clean up a page by formatting it but won't fix anything like sloppy markup.
