Thank you for this. If I give up on editing on the Mac I will contact you for this script.

Thank you jackie_w, I was able to get at the "raw" html for this lit using your suggestion. It appears that the original HTML was produced by Word, which has a reputation for producing gnarly code. A poor source indeed!

I now have a single html file, the "title" is set to the first chapter name, with very short lines (probably page width from a Word doc), with "</p>" and a hard return on each line. Not fun, but at least I have a place to work from now.

Is there a summary somewhere here of what html tags are meaningful for ebooks? Also, how can I feed the resulting html back into Calibre to convert to epub?
