Did you write some code to do this? If so where is it. If not, you're in the wrong forum.

If a "conversion tool" has issues, one usually resorts to modifying the "source data" to comply.

You have the source data (i.e. html and static content), which includes everything you need. Change the names or whatever to comply.

Spin off stuff that won't convert (not likely).

Concatenate files (using "tokens" for combining and splitting) for easier scanning / modding.

(One can strip an entire web site in this way).

(E)xtract, (T)ranslate, (L)oad.

What is hard makes it also valuable.
