Not recommended in this specific case; there's a lot of formatting--bold text, italic text in spots, and indented/special colored quotes. And all that could be added back in, but with these particular files, the originals are clean and consistent. Converting to something that attempts to maintain the formatting, and fixing where it doesn't quite manage to do so correctly, is going to be a lot faster than stripping out all the formatting and starting from scratch.
