The Gentoo documentation is generated from XML, so creating something |
| 10 |
to generate a .epub (which is just a bunch of zipped .html files) |
| 11 |
shouldn't be too hard. |

That said, I have had great success using Instapaper to create .epub |
| 14 |
from .html. If you coupled that with a service which creates RSS feeds |
| 15 |
by watching static pages for changes, you could have an updated epub |
| 16 |
every time the RSS got an update. Easy! * |
