Using the magic wizard program Pandoc, I just had success with a simple little
example:
pandoc -o test.org test.html
Input test.html:
<html>
<body>
<strong>TEST strong!</strong>
<div class='table'>
<div class='cell'>Cell 1</div>
<div class='cell'>Cell 2</div>
<div class='cell'>Cell 3</div>
<div class='cell'>Cell 4</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Output test.org:
*TEST strong!*
Cell 1
Cell 2
Cell 3
Cell 4
I'm not sure how sophisticated the strings you are dealing with, but pandoc
might do the trick for you.
