Assuming it is a flat/static site with just HTML, you can try something like
CSE HTML Validator for finding "nasty" code and remedying it for you with a
built in "fixer" (although I usually prefer do the editing manually).
See http://www.htmlvalidator.com/

Depending on the size of the site/number of files....it might be faster to
just start build a new site and cut and paste only the content then layer in
layouts and other embellishments (links, headings, etc.). It just might be
faster in the long run.

Subject: [WebAIM] Question about web page "remediation"

Does anyone happen to know of a tool that will strip out inline styles and
other "nasty" stuff in old legacy web pages? I don't believe HTML Tidy does
that, and other than tedious find and replace procedures, I don't know a
quicker way to do this. I'm trying to help a non-profit make their site
accessible, and the code is horrendous.

Thanks,
Jan
