has there been any discussion of / any requests for a tool to remove all <a href= type links from within a book ( excludiing the ones which have to be there in xhtml headers.
I quick "search this forum" did not find anything.

I find these a pain to remove, as they are often entangled within spaghetti like chapter headers code, where they link back to a HTML TOC page; or they are arbitrarily added to place names/ addresses etc in a story.

In both cases , seeing blue underlined stuff is intrusive, and as I usually remove any HTML toc page from my personal reading copies, , I end up with broken links which upset my e-reader software if I tap the accidentally.

so iit would be great for me if there was an editor function or a calibre conversion option that just zapped them all away
