Add to that perl+HTML:Parser for scripting, or take the Python route...
But I'm not starting with an epub file -- I'm trying to end up with epub file from a .doc file. So without knowing exactly how the "bunch of flat files" is put together (like bananas? like grapes? ) none of these programs would be much use, even if I *had* any HTML coding wisdom, which I don't.
