Convert HTML with footnote links to DOC with footnotes

July 4, 2009 9:15 PM

How can I convert (on OS X) an html document with footnote links into a word processing document where the footnote links are real footnotes?

Example of html document. Either that or convert the footnotes (1) from a static Project Gutenberg .txt into working footnotes.

I use iWork '09 but am close to achieving this with TextEdit, just not quite there.

html2rtf + Microsoft Word + EndNote

Windows OS + Microsoft Software + expensive third party software. Doesn't help in the slightest.

Sorry, here's a UNIX version of the html2rtf converter.

Can't help you with the other two issues, I'm afraid. You're trying to create a Word document and automate creating a reference library, so you're probably better off using the standard software tools everyone uses for these things, which includes Microsoft Word and EndNote.
