One like this, I'd take the dynamite approach and edit the html and css down to one or two very simple styles, remove all ids and <span>s, and change all those <div>s to <p>s. Great learning exercise if you want it. The other dynamite way is to convert the thing to txt, clean it up using paragraph styles in Writer or Word and convert from there. It's just a plain simple novel, so not much styling is needed. |
I find it easier to start with the eBook and edit it from there. It's a lot easier then trying to figure out where to put things like bold, italic, small caps, offset text, etc. So converting to a text file should be right out.
