They're are already formatted, and I really need to get the <br>
tags in first. I want to keep most of it formated as is. There
are a lot of long files.
But with 300+ lines that's a lot of <br>ing to do by hand.
I may later have to tweak a few, but if I can get the bulk done
by batch processing it will save me a massive amount of work.

Each doc will be a html file and I'll use CSS to do most of
the rest.

It might be nice to give them better structure, but that
won't happen most likely until I can figure out enough Perl
to let Perl do most the heavy lifting.

I have my hands full figuring out HTML, CSS and HTML editors.
Three battles at a time is enough for now.
