A certain amount of editing can be done using a good text editor like
UltraEdit that will do multi file search & replace of both characters and
regular expressions. Most pages, however, require personal tweaking. I found
the most efficient way is to tag all those with events, in the main family
file, do a search for them, and then export the search list to a new family
file (this gets only the tagged folks -- no parents or siblings). Then I
generate a set of Individual format web pages for the new file. This gives
me pages with the correct event structure (more or less) that I can cut and
past to the Pedigree pages using a split screen in UltraEdit, adding in
images and hyperlinks at the same time. It also gives me a secondary,
event-based name list that I can use on the site after changing the
hyperlinks to the correct pages. It isn't hard, but with a basic list of
about 2000 individuals, just time consuming.

Have you considered using some programmable text processing program on the
output from Legacy? This certainly would be no substitute for improvements
within Legacy, but you might be able to automate most or all of your manual
work. On Unix systems, programs such as sed and awk could be used. There
are also versions of them that run under DOS.
