Hello all,

In the last days I built a collection of scripts to generate epub-compatible files as well as troff-ms files from the same text source, all on Plan 9.

The text source files are very similar to markdown syntax, but you can define blocks of text that only work with one of the two output formats. For using the scripts you only need awk and mk, as well as zip for epub and troff -ms for ... troff (plus other tools to convert it to pdf etc).

Here is the package: http://shithub.us/sirjofri/epublish/HEAD/info.html

There's a sample "book" inside that package, I plan to extend this example to describe all formatting features, e.g. writing bold and italic.
