<p>That is possible. We've been looking at something similar. It would need an intermediatory file format that could then be converted to various ebook formats and to a appropriately typeset PDF file for print on demand services. The necessary building blocks and conversion tools exist.</p>



<p>Initial steps are to build a simple to use GUI for authoring the content in the intermediatory format (probably xml based)  and develop XSLT and XSL:FO files or leverage of existing conversion tools.</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
