Does anyone have a solution? It's not possible to strip style attributes from div tags while preserving them for p tags, is it?  |
Years ago I made a userscript downloader for FFFnet and ran into this exact issue...FFFnet when adding a story "converts" each paragraph into a new <div> element then moves to the next and so on. Since I could not just strip all using some serious jQuery I was able to make it look for all the elements I wanted to removed then convert the all <div>that made the "paragraphs" into proper <p> elements this solved all my formatting issues.
Now...I would not have any idea how to get this FFF program to do that but I thought that seeing the "logic" I used when doing this in javascript might give you an idea or two...if not just forget all this...lol.
