that method is ingenious and should work perfectly , but it looks very labour intensive . if the OP wants to do a whole book full of songs, I'd still suggest prep in word, convert, patch up as needed with lots of !
maybe some regex fu could crack it; a chord name is one of A,B,C,D,E,F,G with an optional b or # followed by some more optional stuff ( which can rarely be quite complex, like Dm7b5. the regex trick would be to spot the chord names and place them in <sup> spans. depends somewhat on what the OP is using for source, if he were to use the chordpro format, as linked to above then the chord names are easy to locate; but iif it's a text grap from internet ,then much harder.
PS rambling on... there's more than one way to denote chords, In olden times the jazz guys had some quick to write shorthand, like D- for Dm, C +5 -9 for C #5b9 , a little inverted triangle for maj7.... but most on-sale pop/rock chordbooks don't use that system. You will still see it in some jazz play-along books though
