Make Ebooks Pretty with GutenMark

Although the article talks about Linux, it looks like this tool is available for Windows as well:

Basically, this takes the raw, rough, ugly Gutenberg text and prettifies it into a nicely formatted html document. A good start, for our masters of conversion here!

I use this tool sometimes. It is useful but the file will still need some attention. I still check all the chapter titles, inverted commas end quotation marks adjacent to emdashes.

Works on Mac as well (they say, not tested it yet) http://www.sandroid.org/GutenMark/do...tml#InstallMac

Tested on the Mac, and this tool is fantastic. Easy to use, spits out an HTML file with only a couple of errors (easily fixed). Thanks for the heads up.
