Hi!

I have read in these forums that while comments are displayed/edited as HTML they are not always stored internally as HTML code, depending on where they originally come from. Sometimes they are just stored as plain text. After you edit a comment using the calibre metadata editor it is always stored as HTML internally.

That said, is there any way to get all the comments in a bunch of books converted to HTML the same way the metadata editor would do? Some template that performs this operation in bulk?
