I've got several HTML files that I'm trying to convert to RTF files. Why? The eReader I'm using (Freda) isn't working as well as Mobile Office Word to read files.
I was able to do this with 0.7.4, and it's not just HTML files with multiple chapters, it's also affecting single chapters as well.
This is the output I receive in the error message for a multiple chapter story:
ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 (Weapon of Mass Destruction)

I found something about updating cssutils at some point in my Google-Fu search. Is this something I need to do?
