    Well, that depends on what you consider slim and trim here, Tidy
    corrects many things and is able to replace some markup like <font>
    with "better" markup (or style sheets) but if you have a document
    with tables nested 20 levels deep, Tidy will not change that, it
    can't really. Nevertheless, it seems it should be not too difficult
    to use Tidy to convert to XHTML and use a custom XSLT document to
    strip or replace whatever you want.
