Hi,

I'm not sure if I understood the problem. Do you have texlive-latex-extra
installed? The scripts are meant for ebooks. tidy_text_mode.py tries (heuristically) to merge paragraph text to long lines, remove the possible hyphens from the ends of the lines and keep the dialog text in separate lines.
format_book.sh then inserts double linebreaks so that latex will not merge everything into one giant paragraph. In all other ways, format_book.sh lets latex worry about the text formatting (which is something latex does very well).
