Convert web pages into plain HTML

THE PROJECT: I am redesigning an old website with many articles. The site's original code is a dog's breakfast of HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript, along with CSS classes and in-line styling. I need to save some time, so I'm looking for someone to take the article text and strip it down to clean, plain HTML without any inline styling or CSS classes. I want to be able to just drop the basic code into a CMS text editor and let the template's default styling take it from there. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS: Tags to be used include: p tags, headings (H1, H2, etc), ul/ol lists, tables and in-line bold/italic tags. Text links should be kept, if possible. For internal site links, the URL may be replaced with an empty reference (e.g. href="" or "#") since the address of the target page will change anyway. External links can be kept as-is. (If this is too complicated or time-consuming, let me know and we'll figure out the best solution.) The article's primary title should be H2, with subtitles throughout the article using subsequent headings (H3, then H4, etc). Note: This might not be the case in some of the actual articles, so the sequence of headings may need to be changed in the code you create for me. No need to deal with the actual images. Where there are images, diagrams or sidebars in the article, just replace them with a shortcode to mark the location – no img or div tags required (e.g. [sidebar] or [img] ). Many articles have a tiny linked image at the end of some paragraphs (to go to top of page), and both the image and link should be omitted. A couple of articles have tiny in-line images in the text, which can replaced with a shortcode like [img]. Tables are to be converted to plain table code using thead (if applicable) and tbody sections, TR, TH, TD only – remove any local styling, column specifications and classes. A few tables use COLSPAN in the header row which will need to be kept, to maintain the table structure. Manual line breaks (br) should be removed unless they are necessary for the content to make sense (e.g. a poem or quote). Anything outside of the article text (e.g. ads, site navigation, site-wide copyright message, etc) can be omitted, but do include the article's copyright info at the bottom of the article. My preferred budget for this project is $50-100 US. The resulting HTML code should be sent to me in Word files. Roughly 75-80 articles for this project, possibly more later. I'll ask you to send me a couple of the converted articles first, to make sure we understand each other about what is to be done, then you can do the rest. I'm looking for someone who is reliable and fully fluent in English, who isn't afraid to communicate (email, Skype, etc) or ask questions – if in any doubt, ask! :-)
