I don't know what art class YOU were taking... but I just finger painted...
Am I... am I supposed to draw the penis?
...Also you really read too much into casual comments.
And Weltall, you aren't HEARING me.
What I'm suggesting is something where the number of pages we'd need to alter is irrelevent. The only thing that matters is the variety of formats. I'm suggesting a BATCH EDITOR! Batch meaning a HUGE NUMBER of files. What you do is simply specify a directory full of files and give it some basic rules based on whatever format you are changing. You take a page or two, analyze them, come up with the rule set you'd need, set it all up, then let it run. When it's done, you have a bunch of fully altered pages. At most we'd just need to analyze all the formats and develop specific rule sets for each one. At least a single rule set would apply to all of them. It depends on exactly HOW converted you want all these things.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
