Of course you need a lot of work to turn the html output into something usable as input to Sigil.

I once also converted a pdf that contained the tables of available motor vehicles in my country (with make, model, version, etc.) and used the xml output format. After some extensive regex I was able to extract all the information for use in a repair budget app I was making for a friend who works for an insurance company...
Yabbut, Pablo, that's because you can use extensive Regex, etc., and because you KNOW how to turn the HTML output into something usable. Ditto Red. Hell, I started out with MBPC, and I love it fondly to this day.

The other folks on this thread--not so much. I just think that telling them this will make MORE work for them, not less.

But, hey. I'll stay out of it. All you boyzz know I loves yaz.
