I want to set up procedures for creating a web version of a newsletter that 
is created with PageMaker.

The PageMaker document has:
*  a large set of paragraph styles
*  some character formatting such as italic text for book names
*  some special characters such as smart quotes, m-dashes, and vowels from 
other language sets

The HTML pages should be formatted only with standard HTML tags like H1, 
CENTER, SUB, and so on.

I thought I could export from PageMaker to RTF, run a bunch of macros in MS 
Word to assign HTML tags, then create HTML from the Word document. But all 
the RTF-to-HTML converters I've seen so far create HTML with all sorts of 
style information that preserves the formatting from the RTF.

Does anyone know what combination of applications/techniques I can use to 
turn the articles in my PageMaker newspaper into plain vanilla HTML pages?

Thanks,

Debbi
