Hi Arne, Thank you very much for sharing the code of your book. It seems very interesting, I have to take a closer look at it. I want to upload to GitLab all the code of those two books of my samples, but I need to rearrange it before, as most of that code is in Spanish :-) But, broadly speaking,

Hi Juan, I’ve been going that route for a few years now, and I setup an autotools pipeline with all the little tweaks and hacks I needed to make everything work well together. I’m using LaTeX (pdflatex), scribus, calibre and imagemagick to publish a roleplaying book with charactersheet, Maybe s

Hi Juan Manuel, Thanks for sharing this - the output looks very nice. I think with Org and a setup like you describe, we are one step closer to separating content (what) from form (how) in a document. This was one of the original goals of LaTeX, but of course in a LaTeX document much of the "how"
