+This is heavily WIP.
+
+I used the apply_margin script on a transcript downloaded from
+https://www.youtube-transcript.io to correct the poor formatting,
+then oops_all_code to add backticks to each line (because else
+pandoc encodes all code in a single block no matter how poorly
+that aligns with a page boundary when exporting epubs), then
+pandoc --from markdown+hard_line_breaks input -o output to finally
+have a functional epub that is legible.
+
+This will probably fail with videos longer than an hour because
+the export will be different enough to fuck up the margin fix.
+
+I am really frustrated because pandoc doesn't support plain text.
+I went through many tests and iterations before coming to even
+this minimal start and it was extremely frustrating.
