Thanks T. Kurt Bond and Denis Maier for the suggestions. A better alternative
to tex4ht / tex4ebook would certainly be much easier for me, even if I'm still
somewhat offended by the intermediate steps.
As for xml or pandoc, I'd rather not because I want to keep print (PDF) as the
primary output, and I don't want to lose what TeX/LaTeX can do that most
markup languages can't.
From what I know of pandoc, it is like Sphinx in that the way it generates PDF
output is by translating pandoc into LaTeX/TeX, then running TeX! So instead
of my current toolchain where I write the LaTeX I want directly, I'd
be examining
the pandoc output and if it isn't what I want, poking at pandoc in the hope of
making things better.
It may be unfair, but my impression is that TeX and typesetting / layout systems
based on TeX can do more interesting things than say XML or Sphinx. Moving
to a more "universal" markup format might broaden my options, but I don't
want a lowest common denominator solution.
