It is always difficult to parse and further process not well structured
plain text without advanced semantics. Garbage in, garbage out.
If you need both EPUB and PDF, start with a semantically rich XML
vocabulary, e.g. DocBook. In this case you can relatively easy transfrom
(XSLT) input data into almost any format. These basic outputs like EPUB or
PDF (via XSL-FO) you can get out-of-the-box. The Context output can be
generated using dbcontext: http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/
In sum, use XML as your primary source and from it derive everything else.
