Hello Guix!

Would it be possible to make the 'GNU Guix Reference Manual', available
in 'EPUB' format, at the web page guix.gnu.org/manual/? It would be
nice to read the manual from an e-reader.

I tried converting the PDF to EPUB via calibre and the result was
awful. Formatting got messed up. So I thought it would be better if the
epub was generated directly from source?

I presume HTML and PDF are auto-generated from the source, in the event
of new commit/changes? It would be nice to add EPUB to the list.

Please and Thank you!

Regards,
RG.

Did you try converting the HTML version to EPUB? Calibre does that as 
well. EPUB is little more than a packaging convention for a subset of 
HTML, so this conversion is easier than starting from PDF.


Cheers,

   Konrad.

Nice. I have not used HTML in calibre before. Should I import as HTML
URL or should I import as HTML bundle/package?

Thanks.

Regards,
RG.

Or maybe Pandoc https://pandoc.org/epub.html using directly the texinfo file.


All the best,

pandoc is a good idea, but the texinfo file causes error messages. I did
the following, which worked well:

makeinfo --html --no-split guix-cookbook.texi
pandoc guix-cookbook.html -o guix-cookbook.epub
