Cut-and-paste? Any smarter or magical way?

Combining files with multiple <html>, <head> and <body> tags? Sounds
like a messy job to me.

Exactly what do you want do accomplish?

Not without a program to automate the process, no, so unless you can find
one this is probably your only solution. But it's still very easy to do
manually - just disregard the <html><body> and </body></html> tags in each
htm file, then add <html><body> to the start of the final htm file and
</body></html> to the end.

You'd have to do that with all duplicated tags that shouldn't be
duplicated - <title>, most metatags, etc.

IOW, it's not a simple task to automate, but it's a trivial task to do
manually if you understand html.

Two suggestions:

1. HTMLDoc

Current version is payware, but previous versions were freeware. You'll have
to hunt for it. It will combine HTML files into new HTML files or into PDFs.

2. Notetab Lite

It has a built in scripting language. You could create a script to combine
the files then ave script run through the file to delete tags to make the
HTML "right" for the combined file.

FWIW, last year I did a simple experiment where I simply combined files
using a dos script.

The resulting files were all readable by my browsers. I'm sure the HTML
wasn't compliant, but browsers are pretty forgiving in that regard.
