I'm trying to convert this project gutenberg html to epub (they have their own, but I didn't like some formatting stuff - I'll probably just use theirs b/c I can't figure this out).
I assumed that nothing would be easier than converting html to epub - epub is already basically html. But - when I import the html (gui) and view / convert - I see HTML. It doesn't parse the HTML. I tried setting the html to zip encoding setting, didn't change anything.
I tried converting using the command line - it seemed to be parsing, but crashed because it couldn't split up the html file into small parts, and I couldn't figure out how to tell it "use the h2 tags!"
I first tried with an older version (I think 6.something) before downloading the latest (is it 8.3?)
So -
1 - how can I convert html to epub using the GUI?
2 - how can I tell the cli to split the epub parts based on h2 tags?
