Figured out a way around the problems I was having with the limited form sizes truncating the MT entries <\/a>into WIST. <\/p>\n

I can save each letter’s entries as an HTML-tag-embedded text file (which I already have), FTP those up to the site (minor annoyance), then do a #INCLUDE from the respective quotes.<\/p>\n

And, yes, it works like a champ.<\/p>\n

A few drawbacks. I can’t use the Smartypants plugin to give me curly-quotes and em-dashes (trivial). I need to revisit my line breaks so that poetry, etc., goes over properly (should be relatively easy as part of the Word pre-processing, but I’ve learned not to anticipate that any more). And I have to change the files to a .shtml<\/i> extension, which is relatively easy to do (a single time) in MT, but means previous Googled stuff will be SOL (which isn’t all that big a deal).<\/p>\n

Sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
