Hi, super interested in this topic, for WikiDonne's educational program.
We just finished the 2024 course, we have 31 women biographies in *Profili
di donne emiliano-romagnole*[1] written by students*. W*e wanted to create
a first version of the ebook to be presented in front of school principals,
other students and the partners involved, in May.
At the end I download page by page as PDF and united them in an unique
file. Needless to say, the formatting is horrible. The last year, for our 3
ebooks we spent more than a week to convert the three pdf in odt, format
them and save again as pdf, just to have decent ebooks[2].
Solving the book creation tool inside Italian Wikibooks too would be very
helpful.
