Otherwise, the best thing might just be to search around and see if someone else has already made a tool for that. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has.

Great work, thank you.. .I have a bunch of word files that used the 4-Tone Times New Roman Font where the coding for tones looks like this: N[i y]ao mi]anti>ao h>aishi m[if]an? Where the tone mark is before the vowel and not after. [ = 3rd [ = 4th > = 2nd < = 1st Is there a way to modify your script to convert bases on this encoding? or another suggestion? Thanks! h hi there..

Of course, I can see the actual page source that the browser gets, but that has a lot of additional frames, tables, etc. and it's not formatted for reading.
