(Don't ask me for a copy because I can't give it away until I have permission from the publisher.)

Tables? We don't need no stinkin' tables. Anyway, I'm mostly done with the cleanup, with about 3 hours invested. I also bought a copy of the encyclopedia. I'm going to try to match the formatting of the original.

On the plus side, the vast number of files in this project (4,716) is forcing me to automate everything with scripts. I'm pretty sure that I can use the same script to convert anything on that site.
