Converting Library Items to PHP Include

Okay folks......if I want to convert Library Items to PHP includes, can I
just search for the Library Item text in the files and replace it with the
PHP include line? My concern is not to confuse DW which might still think
the Library Item is attached and get funky. Since I'll be doing this to a
bunch of pages I don't want to mess it all up anymore than I usually do....

Thanks,
Mad Dog

Open the Library item. Delete the first line (the meta tag). Save it with
the name you want to give the include file. In your page, select the entire
library item's markup including the opening and closing comment tags and
delete it. Insert the include directive in its place.

Bada bing, bada boom....

That's no problem. What I was trying to find out was whether I can do a
sitewide search and replace to do this rather than page by page.

Thanks. I just wanted to check and make sure it wouldn't somehow confuse DW
which could still think a Library Item belonged on those pages. Or some such
thing. Of course maybe I give DW more credit for intelligence than it
deserves....
