Docx

Note, that you can sometimes export the source e.g. Google Docs as "doxc" file.

First step is to convert the docx file to epub which is just a zipped version of a static website

FILE="title.docx"
pandoc -s "$FILE" -t epub --epub-chapter-level=2 -o all.epub
unzip -q "all.epub" -d . && rm "all.epub"

Run a webserver serviing directory EPUB/ and navigate to "/nav.xhtml" to see result.

Optionally, create HTML files and use a theme e.g. by using a static website generator like mkdocs, which is great for books and documentation.

pip install mkdocs
mkdocs new my-project
cd my-project

Add a theme and some information to the mkdocs.yml. Copy all files from the text folder of the epub unzip to the static websites docs folder and create the static website with

mkdocs build

Clean by removing unwanted chars/content e.g.:

• Remove bookmarks: sed -i '' 's/{#.*}$//g' text/*.md
• Remove lines that starts with :::: sed -i '' '/^:::/d' text/*.md
