  make-epub.lua <config (JSON file)> [action]

[action]: If not specified, all steps will be taken in order.
            download: All pages will be downloaded to their own HTML files.
            concat:   A file will be created for each section out of its pages.
            convert:  Each section is converted to Markdown.
            markdown: Metadata frontmatter and Markdown section files will be
                      concatenated into a single Markdown file.
            epub:     Markdown file will be converted to an ePub using pandoc.

Requirements:
- Lua libraries: htmlparser, dkjson (or compatible)
- Binaries:      pandoc, curl
