There is currently support for pulling the "title" of an article from the body, and then running a couple of string operations on it to fix it up for displaying in the table of contents. Need to add support for similar operations being done on the "title" in the body of the article as well. Probably separate though.

If a site has a post split across multiple posts, support combining them into one chapter in the epub, so this would only affect make-epub.py

I guess it would ignore the title of all subsequent parts after the first, and just shove the content together with a cat type operation

Adding these would probably let this be run automatically by parsing an RSS feed, then just need to make the epubs available somehow.

Download

Add an argparse subparser to download-chapters to enable downloading a chapter from a URL, a file-name to save, and a Title maybe.
download --url <url> --file <file> --title <chapter title>

This would not update the config file in anyway, but would simply make the specified file exist

ePub

Maybe another subparser in make-epub to manually create an epub without an updated config file
epub --base-config <config> --section <file glob> --section <file glob> --section <file glob> --section-list <list of files>
The base-config could supply the info like book title, author, synopsis, etc

Update Config

Could also potentially add support for updating the config file, instead of manually creating an epub?

update --config <config> --volume <volume number> --full-parts|--append-parts <parts string> --volume-title <title>

calculating the parts string might not be easy... Might take current parts string and just ",new part"

instead of trying readability, mayhap follow feediron's example and have 'cleanup' xpath selections of content to be removed from the web scraped content.

Can specify a list of tags in the config to remove this way

Add support for downloading and including a cover for each epub file, and each section within it.

add support for using the wordpress json api to download chapters when explicitly requested in a config file

download and include images that are embedded in the body of an article

See if there is some kind of library that performs something similar to "readability" which finds the body of an article and formats it for easier reading that I can shove articles through instead of doing it all myself

Create a multi-volume epub from just one config file.

This would mean adding support to ebooklib for specifying a "series" using the type of title stuff. So adding a title would need to get much more complicated. Would also mean some kind of change to the config file. Right now an epub is created from the [toc] section. Would need to be able to have multiple TOC sections and a higher section to group them I guess.

Support being given a link to a page, and processing all the links in the article body as though it was a config file. Will need to split into volumes and maintain link order

pull out wordpress style footnotes, and convert them to proper epub style footnotes. probably a low priority because the html style ones seem to work for me in FBReader
