How can I import HTML from previous site, and preserve relative links?

    I am trying to migrate content from CJSHayward.com. The site contains internal relative references for some of its links, and when I pulled up the source for a test page, selected and copied it to the “text” tab, I found that line breaks seemed to be treated as significant, and there were furthermore added breaks. A sample of the jagged text as viewed from the Visual tab is:


    I have been speaking of the transcendence of God, although I have not used
    that term much. Words about Christ "[sits to] the right hand of the Father" as
    words that cannot literally be true, underscore his transcendence. Words about
    the Greatest God That Could Possibly Be underscore his transcendence. Words
    about the maximum Christology of the Maximum Christ underscore his
    transcendence. The entire thrust of the argument in this article has been to
    underscore that God infinitely transcends anything we could possibly ask or
    imagine. And this brings me to one last point:

    I expect I could copy rendered HTML into the Visual pane… but that would hardcode full URLs to the development server.

    What are my best options? Are there any extensions that allow direct editing of HTML source without interfering with line breaks etc.?

    Blunder about the code, trying again: the sample jagged text I quoted is:

    words that cannot literally be true, underscore his transcendence. Words about

    There is no means of importing content from an HTML site into a wordpress.COM hosted blog.
