Needs Makefile to show which is the base format and how you generate the rest. #1

So what's the process to generate all the various formats and which is the base format you write in? I assume it's .txt format? Even just a README giving details would be good. :-)

It was entirely manual.. I know.. I edit the ODT in LibreOffice and then manually save a txt, pdf and epub. However, when I've tried to open the epub in Sigil it says it's corrupted.. so I don't have much faith it's actually generating a proper epub.

I've added a "buildall.sh" that just calls the soffice with the various arguments to generate PDF,EPUB,TXT from the ODT

Trapped between writing in sigil.. so writing in a raw XHTML editor or writing in raw LaTeX and then generating..

Maybe write in markdown and use the 'pandoc' tools to generate the proper formats?

Cool!

The problem is one of this.. where do you want to spend your time fiddling.. with the plot or with the tools?

Since I'm such a sucky writer... the tools! :-)
