Hi :) That sounds like a nightmare! You made it look like a series of stepping stones rather than the single hop we were hoping for.
However, when i look again you are really talking about just 1 format in the middle? Then the extra editing is just an optional finesse that Virgil could probably dodge for the test-run? The command-line bit also sounds a bit scary but if you could give a command that Virgil could try out by using copy&paste then that might be "do-able" Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: e-letter <[email protected]> >To: Virgil Arrington <[email protected]> >Cc: [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, 14 August 2013, 10:44 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer > > >On 13/08/2013, Virgil Arrington <[email protected]> wrote: >> I just did a couple experiments with LO and Writer2epub.
