I know that. The thing is I’m not talking about manually pasting text (for an individual e-book) into the Comments field using the calibre GUI metadata editor.

I have lots of e-books in ePub format whose Comments field was filled during the import process and it is stored internally in plain text (in the Comments field in the calibre database). I want to convert the Comments format for those e-books to HTML prior to some regex Search & Replace tweak. To that end, I need that all my e-books have their Comments field stored internally in HTML.
