1. Adding epub knowledge felt like it would double the scope and turn jorge into a mostly ebook-related project, which wasn't in my plans.
2. I'd have to choose between a very opinionated and simplistic API or one flexible enough to accommodate different use cases, neither of which felt satisfactory.
On a similar note, I didn't want to extend my site generator with hooks or a plugin system to enable loosely coupled ebook commands, nor did I want to create a standalone program for that purpose.

The key reason this feature seemed approachable at all was that my blog post files are site-agnostic. The base website structure is defined by a layout template, and the blog posts only provide the content. I could reuse them without changes by just switching to a new layout template adapted to the epub format.

The required work can then be outlined as follows:
1. Create a [[https://github.com/facundoolano/olano.dev/tree/main/book][new jorge project]] for the book.
2. Turn the epub boilerplate files into jorge templates, filling the [[https://github.com/facundoolano/olano.dev/blob/main/book/src/OEBPS/content.opf][manifest]] and [[https://github.com/facundoolano/olano.dev/blob/main/book/src/OEBPS/toc.ncx][table of contents]] with posts and static files listed in the jorge template variables. I used [[https://github.com/javierarce/epub-boilerplate/][this]] epub boilerplate project as a starting point.
3. Define an epub-friendly chapter [[https://github.com/facundoolano/olano.dev/blob/main/book/layouts/post.html][layout template]] to replace the base post layout.

Once I had a working version of the book generation Makefile, I realized that I could simplify the process by making some site metadata available to scripts---the lists of posts and tags and site configuration already exposed to templates. So I added a new command for that purpose.

Let's look at some code snippets to illustrate the implementation of the outline above. The epub manifest in the ~OEBPS/content.opf~ file lists each post as a chapter and each image as a media item:
