I've been tinkering with Bertrand Russell's Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy (published 1919), still an essential read in the philosophy of mathematics, and analytic philosophy generally, and currently no high-quality versions seem to be available for free online, as far as I can tell.

So far I've been working on cleaning up a text file generated from a OCR of the pbook. I'm trying to decide what tool to use or format to next; compared to some math books, there's relatively few formulae in it, but there is a good amount of Greek letters used as variables, etc., and I'm trying to decide what format to start working in next. LaTeX would be easiest, since I already know it well, but HTML might be more flexible.

This will be my first serious eBook conversion, however, and any advice would be appreciated!

However, I don't have MS Word installed on the computer I'm doing this on, and I'm tired of giving Microsoft money, so I'd prefer to steer clear of tools that require Word.
