That's actually a pretty good idea for a temporary workaround.  Thanks!
Could you please resend the sed file as an attachment or post it somewhere
online, since it gets mangled by email?

this is a sed file to do something useful.

A C program to do conversion from HTML to LaTeX is available:  http://www.iwriteiam.nl/html2tex.html.

It's available under the GPL. Also on that web page is a link to a Perl program that is supposed to be better. I'm not certain about the license of the Perl program.

Look at the comment here at #2628.
