No, well, if it were on this scale, I would fire up Dreamweaver
or even the 98 version of Word and export to HTML and see how it
renders a table of product specs. I would then see what I could
do to clean up crap via Search and Replace, using extra GREP if
need be, and shape it all how I wanted. But my point was this: be
sure the scale of the job is big enough to embark on anything
more than simple hard work with a text editor, entering, cutting
and pasting where possible etc.

You get these figures from?

Truth is this, I have found many earthlings think hard rote work
beneath their human dignity. I happen to think humans have no
real dignity, it is all a pretence and they should get a better
perspective of their place in evolution. They are machines and
should stop trying to distance themselves from lower and more
mechanical forms.


[btw. Alan Flavell has a philosophy behind the idea of hard rote
work, that it offends against human dignity... It is a point of
view. I am not saying it is unintelligent. But imo, much evil has
come from ideas like this. I don't suppose anyone wants to know
more? :-) ]
