Hi George,

I hope you'll find some of the links I sent around earlier useful, but
I will note that your shouldn't have to start from scratch!
DocBook-XSL 1.74.1 was _just_ released
(https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=661947 and
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&release_id=661947)
and includes DocBook->ePub out of the box (via a simple Ruby script).
If you'd like something with a little more finesse, I'd suggest
customizing Liza's docbook2epub Python library
(http://code.google.com/p/epub-tools/).


Please let me know if you run into any problems with the DocBook->ePub
stylesheets, as I'm very interested in making them robust.


Thanks,
Keith
