I ask you to show us how you would do "correct" HTML for books that are not yet in PG.

i do believe that jim has explained that to us countless times. which part -- exactly -- did you have trouble understanding?

And possibly show how to start a toolchain alternative to RST+epubmaker, possibly to install at a new DP site that I am currently testing.

i find it curious that you'd ask jim to explain this -- since he hasn't really built such a toolchain -- while you ignored my point that i have a web-app that's up and available for use right now by people.

May at least ask you a list of your recent contributions to PG, so that we can learn from your examples?

what's to learn? create an .html file that contains no stylesheet. that will work just fine in most reader-machines. then add as many styles as you like, until one of 'em breaks the file in a reader-machine; then remove it. why are you guys playing dumb under the guise of "asking for advice"? who do you think you're fooling? -bowerbird
