Use a templating system to prepare chapter content for ebook version #21

A templating system like Jinja would make it easier to create the chapter files for insertion into an ePub ebook, rather than the system now. Currently,

tags are added, but the text still needs to be broken up by chapter, and copied and pasted into the ePub files by hand. Programmatically creating a table of contents, and changing certain Unicode characters into HTML entities could also be done.

Is there another tool that will accomplish this goal already? Merovex/verkilo-script will already go from Markdown to ebook & typeset PDF. Maybe this step isn't needed in book-gen, and the editing checks are sufficient.
