Allo? Is there anybody out there since June 2011?
I personnally use AHK_L as my scripting language, it is very well suited for non developpers wanting to automate anything on a Windows machine.
But I need that the SW I want to automate allows me a minimum access to it.
An example of what I would like to do with Sigil from a batch file using Sigil commands:
1. Import a big HTML file (Assumed well coded)
2. Split it (instructions included in HTML)
3. Get metadata from an INI file
4. Create the TOC (NCX and HTML)
5. Run flightcrew and create a log file
6. Save epub and Exit
I could do all these things using AHK_L, it supports programming cursor moves, clicks and keyboard input. Not very professional.
If you call this procedure HTML2ePub. I could run it, integrated in a bigger script, like:
$> sigil.exe -rHTML2ePub -iINIfile.txt doit.xhtml > runlog.txt
It should be easy to implement it, you already have the code. Please, an effort for Christmas?

Could you (or someone else) please let us know the status of this idea? Why limit it to ePub?, once you have a well done ePub, generating a mobi is a piece of cake. Please, think abundance.
