Oh and nakee and I are co-operating.
Good to know! however I was referring to the fact that "detecting" chapters
isn't enough (ebooks and expecially lit are dishomogeneus), so some sort
of interface is needed for manual correction (thus my change from pure
script to pyQt). I have a proof of concept version of my script working this
way but it's still flawed for multiple htmls files (as epub format allows
for example one xhtml file per chapter...)
