From Latex to Epub with Pandoc
Raw
build-epub.sh
#!/bin/bash
# This script makes use of Pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) to convert from Latex to Epub
# While interesting, this solution does require further work on the Latex document. Here follows some suggestions:
#
# (1) Change document class to memoir. \documentclass{memoir}
# (2) Simple figures compile just fine, but subfigures and more complex solutions will be ignored. Convert complex solutions into simple, multiple figures to fix this.
# (3) The same applies to tables. Only very simple tables will be rendered. My suggestion is to take a high-resolution screenshot of the table and use a figure instead.
