Guix Manual in epub format

Guix Manual in epub format

Hi
I use an ebook reader for reading long detailed documents and books.
I would like a copy of the guix Manual on my reader.
I searched a little and there seem to be no ready tool to convert info2epub.

I found this:

latexml --dest=$1.xml $1.tex
latexmlpost -dest=$1.html $1.xml
ebook-convert $1.html $1.epub --language en --no-default-epub-cover

It makes use of latexml and ebook-converter (the command line tool that comes with calibre)
Source: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1551/use-latex-to-produce-epub

Any thoughts?

Yes,

Texinfo is not LaTeX. Unless there's a Texinfo to LaTeX tool which doesn't
suck, this will be impossible. This was one of the results I found:
https://github.com/jlhg/texinfo2epub first result page on search engine.
Does not look like nothing to me?

This looks quite complicated. With a short internet search i found:

https://github.com/jlhg/texinfo2epub which basically does this:

    makeinfo --docbook $INPUT_FILE_PATH -o out.xml
    xsltproc $EPUB_XSL out.xml

The stylesheet seams to be part of docbook-xsl already.
https://github.com/ikrukov/epub does not provide a script, but describes
the same approach.

We can generate HTML directly as we do for the online copy of the
manual.  From there it’s just a small step to epub.
