I've not tested them, but I know that there are a few tools that
produce html output from *roff source code without using roff,
and so, probably without fixing the content of each line, nor
adding spaces to justify them:
- ManServer for document using the man macro format:
http://www.squarebox.co.uk/users/rolf/download/manServer.shtml
- ms2html for documents using the ms macro format:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Text/ms2html-1.2/
They could probably be usefull before using an html to epub tool,
One such tool, simply named html2epub is for example given with
Calibre: http://calibre-ebook.com/about
Please, send your solution on the list if you find something
usefull.
