Single epub

[irismessage]

It would be helpful to have every pep packaged in a single epub with working links to one another - like what's provided at https://docs.python.org/3.10/download.html

I found a way to combine them in calibre with the epupmerge plugin, but it would be useful to have Series metadata on each one for sorting

I'm not familiar with series metadata, and I'm not against such features.

I'm open for pull requests, if you wanted to give a try :)

I found this https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/src/calibre/ebooks/metadata/opf2.py to use as a reference for metadata keys, then I started doing this:

to sort by publishing date, however I then found this https://github.com/python/peps/pull/1995 which is probably a more efficient route than using pandoc

I implemented your idea of using the date in 2b8239599434df71da8c9e64aca0c6e280fd8eb6 and updated all ePUB in c4d9d5017e4950c689b0aa502b992e0ec9bc6f21. Thank you for the idea :)
