^^^^
What exatcly is "this"? The whole table? I'd need to see a complete
page then to advise a sensible strategy. Mulitilne replacements with
sed can be done, but it doesn't look nice :)

If this refers to the statement above (index.html and menu.html files
must not be changed):
find . \( -regex '.*\.html' -a ! -name index.html -a ! -name menu.html \) -print
To be certain, I'd go with Kevin's sugegstion to create a file with a
list first, which can be checked for correctness before the actual conversion
is attempted.
