Keeping our source code clean is very important not only for SEO, but a tidy source is easier to maintain, and it loads faster. Unfortunately most of the WYSIWYG editors, including Microsoft Word leaves a very dirty code once converted to HTML.

On the home page of HTML5-Editor.Net<\/strong><\/a> we can see two big text areas next to each other.
