Once I have good, solid, semantic Xhtml, Pandoc isn't needed. I already have most of the code to ePubize a single Xhtml file with lots of chapters.

I think I tried lyx->latex->tex4ht once before, and something went wrong, though I no longer remember what. > And process the html file > through tidy before using Pandoc. That's a good idea, although Python's lxml.etree can read well formed XML in any form, and has its own pretty print. > > I haven't tried this, so please don't waste your time on it if > inconvenient.
