I've given up on tex. I'm typesetting a book right now, and getting the epub going was a piece of cake. Then I tried using LibreOffice for the print version and it was a nightmare to control via the API and buggy as hell. So I decided now would be a good time to try tex. After 2 solid days of yak shaving, I threw in the towel. It's too fragmented, the documentation is terrible (complete - all 600 pages worth, but terrible for discovery or learning). It's basically rabbit hole after rabbit hole, with most, if not all, tutorials directed towards typesetting your homework assignments.
All of the CSS/HTML based solutions cost thousands per license, so that's out.
I'm now on to SILE, which fixes a lot of problems with tex. I can only hope that it's advanced enough to properly typeset a novel.
