Hi :)
That sounds like a nightmare!  You made it look like a series of stepping stones rather than the 
single hop we were hoping for.  

However, when i look again you are really talking about just 1 format in the middle?  Then the 
extra editing is just an optional finesse that Virgil could probably dodge for the test-run?  

The command-line bit also sounds a bit scary but if you could give a command that Virgil could try 
out by using copy&paste then that might be "do-able"
Regards from 
Tom :)

I just did a couple experiments with LO and Writer2epub. I tried converting

the entire 390 page Getting Started book to EPUB. It choked. I then tried
doing the same with just the 18 page introduction. Same result. No EPUB
output file was generated.

I noticed that Writer2epub doesn't like custom styles. It is apparently
designed for fairly simple documents, using LO's built-in styles. It can't
handle the elaborate formatting of the LO User Guides.


That was an ambitious test! Perhaps LaTeX might be better: convert to
(x)html using tex4ht and then compile the epub. Personally, would edit
the xml using a text editor and compile the epub via the command
terminal; compilation is surprisingly easy.
