Thank you for the shout-out. I just don’t want to nag you about your podcast. I just want you to write more books, and it’s hard for you to do that if you’re in the hospital because you didn’t listen to the doctor!
I can’t wait until you get all this mess sorted out. But I’m glad you’re taking the time to sort it out right – so that it doesn’t come back to bite you, like Ridan did.
Its probably worth spending a few minutes doing a quick google search to see if you can find an existing a tool to section HTML files in the way you need. I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t already written a app to do the job.
On command line I used this:
htmldoc -t htmlsep full_share.html -d output-folder
It divides by chapters. Downside is it puts a small amount of code in for Next and Previous at the top and bottom of each page. In Bluefish it would be a simple thing to open up all the pages and do a search delete for that bit.
Further info on htmldoc: I see that if you bring up the GUI it has the html separate pages as an option. I didn’t see anyway to omit the Next, Previous thing. htmldoc has been useful to me to put together a bunch of html pages into one big one.
Now I’m wondering if I heard you right. I recalling that you did have some very large chapters to break up. Well, maybe this would make that easier, even though you would have to do the big chapter breakdown by hand. It should make it much easier to glue it all back together if it doesn’t mess it up for you.

I found something that might work for you. I already had the program on Ubuntu. It’s called htmldoc. I did not know that it would split, but it does. http://txt2tags.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/split-html-in-multiple-pages/

htmldoc looks like just what I need.
Thanks!
