I know I could possibly hack something together using the Tidy
libraries... (maybe...) but are there any existing php libraries /
projects that already have the ability to take some HTML and
"downgrade" the version of HTML being used.

One example: turn this...

<p style="font-weight: bold">Blah</p>

.... into ...

<p><b>Blah</b></p>

This is for an eReader I love but is long out of production and the
converter tool only works with HTML 3.2

Thanks in advance.

You'd need a full on HTML parser, as what about an element that is given
a bold font from an included stylesheet? Where would you put the bold
tag then? Regular expressions really won't cut this either. Maybe it's
time to look for a different reader?

Thanks,
Ash
