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.
