Description
The LFS-7.1 release was announced on slashdot and one of the commenters mentioned that it would be nice if we made an EPUB version of the book (http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2712781&cid=39280289). I've previously looked into this, so that I could read LFS on my eBook reader, but other events got in the way, so this ticket is here so I don't drop this again!
Plan of attack for supporting EPUB is:
1) Upgrade to Docbook-XSL-1.76.1 by initially importing the 1.76.1 stylesheets into the LFS tree, similar to how the existing snapshot is used 2) Ensure there are no regressions in the existing HTML & PDF output formats 3) Add customisation layer for EPUB format 4) Remove the in-tree version of the XSL distribution, and rely on distribution-installed versions instead.
