so...  converting from HTML back to Org!  Great.  And I'll
check Pandoc soon, I'm a fan of this kind of tools.

If you have a minute, would you like to check the Org FAQ
on Worg and submit a new entry?  This questions keeps being
raised, it would be nice to share this solution.

Thanks!

* This worked for me:
** apt-get install pandoc
* Booted up an EMACS that has the menus enabled.
** Install pandoc-mode.el (see
http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~jkremer/pandoc-mode.html )
** Goto buffer with .html doc in it.
*** Get OrgMode and PanDocMode running simultaneously in the same buffer.
** Click on the PanDoc menus in EMACS:
*** Chose PanDoc->Files->OutputFile->SetOutputFile (and I typed /tmp/test.org)
*** Chose PanDoc->OutputFormat->OrgMode
*** Chose PanDoc->RunPanDoc
* /tmp/test.org was created--looked pretty good; but, "your mileage
may vary"--depends on the structure of the HTML file.
** PanDoc has a lot of filetype conversions!
** I often use "html2csv" --by Author: Sébastien SAUVAGE  http://sebsauvage.net
*** And/or use PERL or EMACS to go the rest of the way.

Thanks Puneeth for the link to PanDoc (and the sublink to PanDocMode for EMACS)!

* PanDoc also has interesting file inclusion and elisp “double-at
directives”: See
http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~jkremer/pandoc-mode-manual.pdf
** Someone sought to include the "markdown" in their doc I believe.
** Can do things like this (when using PanDoc/PanDoc-mode.el

Org-mode cannot import html files.  But, you could try using Pandoc[1]
for this.

[O] convert html file into orgmode .org file?

[Jude DaShiell]

Can org-mode do this so that a user of orgmode can edit the page in 
orgmode then export the edited work back out to an html file?
