Send me the files. I'll take a look at it and see if anything can be salvaged (or what the best method would be).

You can send me a Private Message on MobileRead by:

Pressing on my username > Send Message

Just upload them to Dropbox or Google Drive (or some other filesharing site) and send me the URL.

From rereading your first post, I think it may be helpful to get these 4 files:
  • Original file (whatever format Pages saves it as)
  • Pages -> DOCX
  • Pages -> EPUB
  • Pages -> HTML

The problem is using garbage tools/workflows:

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

These programs output absolutely atrocious HTML:
  • Google Docs
  • iBooks Author
  • ???Apple Pages???
  • [...]

If you use Styles properly though (LibreOffice, Word, etc.), you can still get clean HTML out. It's just 99.9%+ of people don't use Styles, or know they exist.
