Can latexmlpost create an epub?

[teepeemm]

latexmlc myfile --dest=myfile.epub will correctly create an epub file.

latexml myfile --dest=myfile.xml and then latexmlpost myfile --dest=myfile.epub will claim to create myfile.epub, but it actually creates the xhtml version and names it as an epub.

Since the xml creation is the time consuming part, I would like to do that as rarely as possible, and then go from that point to a website or epub.

I don't understand the executables well enough to see how they work, but is there anything stopping us from having latexmlpost also be able to create an epub?

Hi @teepeemm - that is a good observation - only latexmlc can create ePub at the moment.

The intention has been for the longest time to move a little closer to a single executable which can do all of 1) core processing, 2) post-processing, 3)joint core+post processing, based on the initial experiment with latexmlc. I think that intention is still there.

For now, only latexmlc can generate ePub, as you have noticed.

And for posterity: it appears that I'll need to watch #1496 (and maybe #1497) in order to have latexmlc create the epub from the xml.
