I have a file that isn't in the best of shape and I want to clean it up a little bit. I'm starting with an html file and I want to get it into epub for editing but I want to start by cleaning up a lot of the sloppy formatting. I've learned that one of the best ways to do this is to convert it to markdown text and then to epub.

Unfortunately, this isn't working this time around and I'm not certain why. The only thing making it into the markdown file is anything marked with an <h#> tag. All other text formatting (bold, italics, etc.) is being lost and I can't quite seem to figure out why.

Also, when I add the html file, it shows up in Calibre as a zip file. I can't say I've ever noticed that before so it may be normal behavior.

It's probably something extremely simple that I'm overlooking in a fit of stupidity but, when I started to get frustrated, I decided to come here and ask for advice. Does anyone here have any ideas what may be going on or what I may doing wrong? I'm using version 0.7.49.

Thanks.
