I hid the request in plain sight in post #2, perhaps I should have been more explicit, but I don't like to demand other people's free time. Or maybe it fell victim to tl;dnr syndrome.

Whatever the reason, let's try again.

I don't really think anyone who has posted in this thread is a potential user of the tool, at least not directly, but I would suggest that everyone here can help by guiding potential users towards it when the situation demands. Which, as I only just noticed this morning, PeterT did here. Thanks, Peter, that's exactly what I think is needed.

My intention was to launch the calibre plugin in the main Plugin subforum, but I don't expect it to be a #1 Bestseller. Before I do there are 4 main areas for beta-testing:
  1. Do any of your books crash the plugin? None of mine did but it's over-hopeful to think it's impossible.
  2. Can your calibre original be scrambled by accident? I don't see how, but you never know...
  3. Re: hyperlinks/footnotes. Has the code I added to leave numeric footnote labels as-is, inadvertently revealed more than it should? I don't own many non-fiction books, but my Terry Pratchetts passed unit testing OK.
  4. Needs testing on Linux, Mac. Also WinXP, Win10 if possible. I only have Windows 7 available.
