Welcome to MR!
Assuming you have access to the book, and no copyright is being violated because Bill Fitchner passed only 10 years ago, then there are ways to do this that are MUCH faster.
However, yes, you are basically on the right track.
There are some rules that you need to make sure you are following for ePub (xhtml) that may not have been followed for a basic webpage.
- tags must have an opening and closing tag <h1> at the beginning of the header and </h1> to denote the end.
- capitals matter... you need to use lowercase letters in the tags <h1> vs <H1>
If you are copy/pasting text, then you may be missing all the correct tags for any bold, italic, or other odd formatting sections. Instead, I would view the source code for the chapter, then copy/paste the entire section of the html tagged text. You can see the source code, usually, be right-clicking somewhere on the page in the web browser and selecting "View page source" or typing ctrl-u.
Are you planning on publishing this ebook, or is it for your personal use?
