- Convert TEI to EPub
- XProc pipeline
- XML standards
- Limited custom programming
- EpubCheck 1.2
Published as weekly column
Too complex for the readers,
terminated half-way

I admit, real goal:
- Beat Norm
The way to do it:
- Mixed input formats
- Selectable output formats
- Selectable styling
- Input composition
- Max navigation features
- Cross-linking
- Easy to use
- ...
- 3-step proces
- Intermediate format
- Input template
Configuration
