For example I want to convert this link to ePub

Thanks
Aku

Save the page from your browser, then add the html will work for that one page. Using a scraper like wget, htttrack or the like will also work to get links on that page plus the page itself. A recipe will work. Or you could just grab that public domain ebook from one of the many online download sources, including the Gutenberg Project.

Starson17 - I wanted to write a recipe so that I can give few links and run through a loop to convert them to epubs. I wanted to know how to write and execute a recipe from commandline.

In that case, I've moved you to the Recipe forum. Read the sticky on using recipes (the last two sections in particular) and the basic introduction to writing recipes (linked in the sticky). You will need to use ebook-convert and parse_index or set the recursion depth if that page goes to other pages via links you want to capture.
