i'm currently checking out some possibilities for ebook/epub publishing but if someone has the recipe to do the following on my ubuntu system, that would be ducky. i was handed a sizable (5M) HTML file that represents a book someone wants to make available as an e-book. it's an entirely self-contained file; as in, no references to CSS, all styling is buried in the early HTML. it's also annoyingly one long line so, if i'm going to manipulate it at all manually, i'll first run it through something like "tidy" to add indentation. once that's done, i'm curious as to the easiest way to make the HTML -> ebook transformation. i know about "calibre" but that seems like overkill just for this one instance. i installed the package libebook-tools-perl, which gave me the "ebook" command which looks like it might do what i want: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/ebook.1p.html so i'll play with that for the next couple hours. but if someone out there has been down this road before and knows the exact steps, that would save me a bit of time. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
