[plug] Convert web site to wordprocessor

[Sol]

There are quite a few html2* file transformation utilities available. 
(If I were on my machine at home I'd list them and download links for 
you but I'm not :(  ) From memory, there's html2latex. Theoretically 
you can read latex files in Kword (though I've not had much success so 
far) and LyX. There's also html2ps (or is it htmlps?). If you don't 
care for editing these helpfiles and just want to print them then this 
may help.

I have often come across trouble using these utilities when the html is 
properly formed. These utilities usually complain about this. I think 
that there's an app called html2html which cleans up poorly formed 
html, but it's been a while and I'm not using my own machine so I can't 
confirm.

<pause>

yes I can. try "html2html" on google.com/linux. Try the same with the 
ones I've suggested above also. Note also that there are latex2* apps 
also. So to get the desired result you could html2latex followed by 
latex2$<my_fave_wordpro_format>. This might be a little circuitous, but 
if you've got a lot of material you want to convert and then edit in a 
gui word processor it might end up being economical.
