Hi,
I downloaded a number of historical books from the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, the PDFs are not tagged at all.

It is fairly easy for me to match the HTML link to the page with the biblographic entry at the Library of Congress, however, I can't figure out a simple way to get that imported into metadata in Calibre (aside from copy paste).

I could also copy the overall biblographic entry, but I am not aware of a way to parse this bibliography entry into Calibre meta data.

So- the question is:
1) Is there a way to take the Library of Congress HTML and convert to Calibre meta data?
2) Is there a way to take a text bibliography entry and convert to Calibre metadata?

Thank you!
