Need to edit html dynamically

I need a script that will step through an cfml document and remove html. For example, if it comes upon this:

<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>

it will replace it simply with a paragraph tag, <p>

We have a lot of people saving Word files as html and as most of you know it puts a ton of code in that's not necessary. The easy solution would be to tell them not to do that but they are the least technical people so this is all new to them.

I have looked high and low for a script, plus tried a few things but still haven't had any luck.

Is it always a paragraph tag that you want to replace, or are there other tags? How is the script supposed to know what to replace the original code with...is it always just "if you run into <br px:93093 blah blah blah> then replace it with <br>"? Or will there be rules associated with what gets replaced and what should be substituted?

There will be other tags too. I just used the paragraph tag as an example. It will be, if you run into this, replace it with this.

You'll want to use a set of regular expressions then. Something like this:

<cfsavecontent variable="originalText">
<br px:foo blah blah......~~~~~ bar>
normal text with nothing wierd. normal <p> tag
Bad paragraph tag: <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>
</cfsavecontent>

<cfset newText = reReplaceNoCase( originalText, '<br[^>]+>', '<br>', 'All' ) />
<cfset newText = reReplaceNoCase( newText, '<p[^>]+>', '<p>', 'All' ) />

<cfoutput>#htmlCodeFormat( newText )#</cfoutput>
