I'm working on a personal project which could best be described as an extension to Tweak-epub. It started life as a result of an enhancement request (#8252) I made prior to the current bug system being introduced.

It aims to automate some of the things I find myself doing frequently whilst in Tweak-epub. It also allows me to use some calibre-conversion features without actually doing an epub-epub conversion. (I am currently able to use most of its features on epubs not yet in calibre, even if calibre is not open, so I haven't made good use of existing calibre classes and methods.)

As such I need the ability to analyse the opf, xpgt, css and html files and make tweaks as required. What I could really use is a CSS parser, regex works but is a bit messy.

I am aware that there is a fair amount of overlap with what kiwidude is doing with his 'Modify epub' plugin. However, I had already started this learning project before it became available, so I have continued with it. I'm not interested in any kind of bulk processing, it's purely a one-epub-at-a-time tweaker. It is unlikely to ever see the light of day in the general community as kiwidude is a far better programmer than I will ever be.
