"Gutenberg's format" probably means certain conventions for use in a text file to represent things you can't otherwise do in a plain text file, like asterisks for *bold* and underscores for _italics_.

I'm not personally interested in it, however, since I'm interested in ePub or HTML --> LaTeX --> PDF route, not plain text ---> LaTeX --> PDF route. I don't have much by way of Plain Text books I want to prettyify, but instead, existing ePubs or similar (some of which may even have been processed by Gutenmark...)

And the samples on Gutenmark's homepage look terrible, IMHO. Haven't they heard of paragraph indentation?
