Thanks all,
however i had to do a couple of things to make it work, things probably very basic, but maybe not as clear to everyone who works by pushing buttons like me.

when i clicked on the links in the cabbages blog, i got something with linenumbers etc. it didn't work out of the box.
-i had to cut and paste it into texteditor or scripteditor
-then i had to save it as plain xxx.txt to check and to xxx.py to get something that python understood
i put these files on the desktop btw.
clicking on the xxx.py created the structure and the application that did the trick.
i validated all by loading the output file of the operation into adobe digital editions and calibre and no hitch there, it worked.

i'am now one happy customer in control of my own books
