Epublish Tools # Introduction This “book” describes the epublish tools for generating troff-ms compatible files as well as an EPUB 3.0 zip file using the same text source. The text source uses a specific input syntax similar to markdown. Keep in mind that this is just a short introduction and you ‥will‥ need the source for this book to understand how it works. It is also recommended to look at the sample/mkfile, which describes the build process of this sample book. # Source Text Syntax ## Basic Text Syntax It is possible to write ‥italic‥ and ‥‥bold‥‥ text. You can generate the two-points character on Plan 9 using 'Alt 2.' (Alt is the compose key). ## Output Format Specific Source It is possible to specify areas that remain untouched for the specified output format. The following example shows a bold paragraph: [[[ms .B MS exclusive paragraph. .R ]]] [[[ebook <p><b>ebook exclusive paragraph.</b></p> ]]]
