=============================
Copyright (C) 2026 Paul Ledbury <paul@ledbury.co.uk>

CHIP is a lightweight utility designed to convert standard .html or .htm files into 
a valid ePub format ebook.

System Requirements & Dependencies
----------------------------------
Compiler: GCC / MinGW-w64 (to compile the C source code on Windows).
Validation (Optional): 'epubcheck' from https://www.w3.org/publishing/epubcheck/ 
                       (if you wish to validate the generated ePub output).

Documentation
-------------
Full details regarding features, usage instructions, and HTML document structure
can be found in the accompanying 'chip.pdf' file.

Building and Testing
--------------------
The project includes a Windows batch script, 'make.cmd', which handles compiling 
the source code into an executable, running tests, and optionally validating output.

Before running the script:
1. Open 'make.cmd' in a text editor like Notepad.
2. Update the configuration variables inside the script to point to your test 
   HTML file path and, optionally, your local installation path of 'epubcheck'.
3. Run 'make.cmd' from your command prompt to build and test the software.
