markdown-to-epub-converter

Parse the markdown into chapters and sections, then use ebooklib to build the EPUB structure with metadata, CSS styling, and navigation. This Skill's create_epub_from_markdown function handles the full pipeline from raw markdown text to a written EPUB file.

Headers H1 through H6, bold, italic, links, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, tables, and code blocks are supported. Code blocks get line numbers and Pygments syntax highlighting, and tables receive styled headers with alternating row colors.

Yes, the output is standard EPUB3 with UTF-8 encoding, which works on Kindle apps and devices via email or cloud upload, as well as Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo readers.

H1 headers define chapter boundaries and H2-H6 headers become sections within chapters. The table of contents and EPUB3 navigation document are built automatically from this header hierarchy, with anchors generated from header text.

The table of contents is built from H1 headers, so markdown without any H1 headers produces no chapter entries. Add H1 headers to mark chapter divisions and H2 headers for sections within each chapter.

No, image embedding and cover page generation are listed as planned future enhancements and are not implemented in the current version. The converter handles text-based markdown elements only.
