I am converting a textbook I have written in LaTeX to epub. The book
(500+ pages) is on assembly language. It has many drawings (vector
graphics), a fair amount of math equations (but only simple algebra
notation), and many code listings. My goal is to make it available
both in epub (for ereaders) and pdf (for printing).

So far I have been converting the source to rst and using docutils for
producing the two versions of the book. I have learned how to include
different versions of the figures in the final product: svg for epub;
eps for pdf (via LaTeX). Common html seems to be adequate for my
equations, and the code listings look good (although I would like to
be able to add line numbering).

Does Sphinx offer advantages for such a project over "raw" docutils?

Keep in mind that I'm an assembly language programmer. In other words,
sort of a control freak. I don't like programs that have a mind of
their own, for example, MS Word.

Yes, this is lots of work. But I'm retired, and the problem of
publishing technical books in epub interests me. Good way to keep my
mind active.
