'removal of repeated <span style> tags in rich text
I have a lot of text documents in different languages saved in MS Word that I need to import into a web site for display as rich text. Normally this is quite easy, but some of the documents have strange internal formatting like so:
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">得</span></span>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">到</span></span>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">一本</span></span>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">慕迪</span></span>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">醫生所寫</span></span>
every few characters have their own definition that is identical to the ones near it. This instead should be codified as
<span style="font-family:SimSun"><span style="color:white">得到一本慕迪醫生所寫</span></span>
This goes on for hundreds of pages and causes a lot of problems when displayed on a webpage such as load time issues, issues with database trying to process much bigger requests, etc. Is there anything I can do in MS Word or some other program to consolidate the text by pruning the unnecessary tags?
