 Seems to have worked perfectly.  I looked at a couple stories I remember having the formatting issue and... *poof*, it's all gone.
Splendidly done!  Splendid!

I've been reading through some of the stories on the archive and find that many of them are in dire need of updated character sets.In particular - in many stories quotation marks and a few other punctuations are just question marks; the browser can't figure out what character to use (chrome, firefox, and whatever it is microsoft uses these days all have the same issue).
Is there any way to run them through more modern document software, or HTML compiler, to replace the broken characters with functional ones?  Or would that require extensive manual editing?

Don't know about "modern" software, but last night I ran a Python script on every story that had that mysterious question mark and sent the resulting files to Vineyard for checking. When he updates them, they should have those symbols replaced with the correct ones. I'll do another check afterwards to make sure I got them all.
