Has anyone any recommendations for tools / styling for #ebooks? I'm looking at #asciidoc to #epub but I'm wondering what the "right" way to style the epub should be

-- edit: A very good solution has been found, but Mastodon can't add images to retoots, so here we are, using URLs: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/116346357622698597

@Kroc I would probably start by looking at the repositories behind all the books published by @standardebooks. Not sure how generic there tooling is today, but they do a great job creating ebooks that have good support cross different platforms and devices with a very consistent style. Also with accessibility in mind, which I appreciate.

(PS: according to the manual, pandoc can convert from asciidoc … wonder what is going on there.)

@Zegnat @standardebooks Looking at Standard Ebooks' repo, all their books are in HTML from the beginning, no conversion from a plain-text source but I could reuse their CSS, yes.
