Well, this one was much easier than I thought it would be. I'll have to make sure to add this one to my really big book of cool techniques.

I did a basic conversion from html to epub. Luckily for me, every single occurrence of italics was setup using <span class="italic">. This was easy to change using search/replace and replace all of these occurrences with <i>. All the corresponding </span> tags were automatically changed to </i>. From there I was able to do the txt markdown conversion and everything went without a hitch.

Thanks guys.
