Convert EPUB to XML DOCBOOK

The EPUB (Electronic Publication) file extension is a widely utilized format for digital books and publications, leveraging its versatility across various e-readers and devices. Officially established by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) in 2007, it superseded the Open eBook standard. EPUB's structure allows for reflowable content, meaning text can adapt to different screen sizes, enhancing readability. It supports multimedia elements, such as images, videos, and interactive features, making it suitable for diverse digital publications beyond conventional eBooks. EPUB's adoption stems from its open standard, promoting broad compatibility and ease of access in the digital publishing landscape.

DocBook XML, a subset of XML (Extensible Markup Language), serves as a markup language tailored for technical documentation. Developed in the early 90s, it was designed to standardize documentation across various software systems. Its uses include creating structured documents like books, articles, and manuals, ensuring consistency and ease of content transformation across different formats such as HTML, PDF, and EPUB. This standardization facilitates collaboration among developers and writers, enhances content reuse, and simplifies documentation maintenance.
