 The end goal is not the HTML itself. It's to move the data into individual custom columns.
Personally, I think it's simpler to run some Calibre saved search/replace than to do a whole lot of copy/paste to/from external programs in order to convert the text to something FanFicFare compatible, just so one can use the update metadata feature of FFF.
