Gah!

What does it say that I spent more time picking out the effing icon than deciding on content (Japanese pORn stars FTW)? What happens, see, is that it's been so long between posts that I have become overwhelmed by the sheer content of what I should have posted all along; therefore, I can't even wrap my mind around what I should say at the moment.

Or whom I'm even saying it to.

I know: I'll ask a question, one that someone may even be able to help me with.

I want to post "A Thousand Beautiful Things" to the Archive of Our Own. And so I need a program that will convert a Word file to HTML. A program that isn't Word, of course, which fills the whole friggin' thing with incomprehensible and useless code. I want clean, streamlined code. My file has some italics, yeah, but what's it really has is those bloody lyrics that needs blockquotes, but without extra lines and crap.

This program should be freeware or online.

Also I may be travelling to Geneva, Switzerland, very soon. Any tips?

I don't know of such a program. There are ways of doing it that are slightly more labor-intensive, though--the Word search function is pretty powerful, so you can search for things in italics, and then put <em>^&</em> in the replace box. (The ^& means "thing you found.") (I should say, test this before you do the whole document, I don't have Word and can't...)

brief tutorial and in-depth description of all possibilities.

(I feel like this should be possible to do as a macro and distribute it, but I don't know how...also, see above re: no access to Word.)

Don't have Word? Is that possible? *prepare to be assimilated...*

I'm getting lots of tips for conversion to HTML from where it's online now, so I'll try to get that to work. There are programs I could buy for the Word-to-HTML but it seems silly for a one-time thing.
