I use a similar "glossary" aka hash or map. Quite a few of them actually and they get used in multiple passes with a bewildering number of temp files from one pass to another. Users make shortcuts that never worked. They code around bugs in Manila that were later fixed and the work around now fails should they ever visit their old post their Manila server.. There's more edge cases in Manila than any piece of software I know. You'll have to decide how many of them you'll handle, IFF the customer will ever notice. Perfect conversion isn't possible. One Business model to another you have to figure out what your willing to do about these edge cases. Best of luck.

There’s more edge cases in Manila than any piece of software I know. You’ll have to decide how many of them you’ll handle, IFF the customer will ever notice. Perfect conversion isn’t possible. One Business model to another you have to figure out what your willing to do about these edge cases.

Best of luck.
