Topic : Re: How should we go from Stack Exchange Q/A to publishable PDF with the least hassle? Over on another site we're talking about taking some of our content (on a particular theme) and re-packaging - selfpublishingguru.com

We have learned through experimentation that a new-enough version of Microsoft Word (we tested with 2010) supports format-preserving cut-and-paste from Stack Exchange posts. We drew up some formatting guidelines to get the content into shape (e.g. de-linkifying, since this is for paper). This still involves manually cutting and pasting from the browser into some other program (e.g. Word), but it turns out we don't need to extract the source HTML or markdown to work with after all, so for a small project we can live with that.
