HI Leonid, Yes, the technique of using templates and then doing string replacements is exactly what I use in the Blogging code for http://scientificarts.com.worklife . And that Is what I was working on extending to solve my problem. Mark McClure in his answer gives the really simple way of doing this via ConversionRules that I was hoping for. Thanks for your help! --David On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 10:00 AM, Leonid Shifrin <lshifr at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi David, > > There is a possibility which I used in publishing my book online.
