The record

Purpose: XMLmind Ebook Compiler turns a set of HTML pages into a self-contained ebook.
Interactive content: The maker says ebooks can include audio, video, slide shows, and multiple-choice questions.
Book structure: Features include automatic tables of contents, indexes, numbering, cross-references, footnotes, conditional processing, and XInclude content reuse.
Output formats: Supported outputs are EPUB, Web Help, PDF, RTF, WML, DOCX, and ODT.
Input requirements: Source pages must contain valid XHTML; Markdown is also supported through configurable dialects and syntax extensions.
PDF and RTF dependencies: PDF output requires a registered XSL-FO processor such as Apache FOP, RenderX XEP, or Antenna House Formatter, while RTF requires XMLmind XSL-FO Converter.
Developer integration: The Java-based compiler is designed to be embedded in desktop or server-side applications as well as used from the command line.
License: The compiler is open source under the Mozilla Public License version 2.0.
Platforms: The feature page says the software runs on any Java 1.8+ platform; the current download requires Java 11+ and is platform-independent.
Current download: The download page offers version 1.12.3 as a platform-independent ZIP containing binaries, documentation, and full source code.
Bundled PDF processor: An alternative ZIP includes Apache FOP 2.11 with hyphenation and MathML support and is described as ready for PDF or PostScript generation.
Support: There is no phone support; bug reports go to a public moderated mailing list, and support is generally limited to bug reports unless the requester is an XMLmind customer.
End of life: XMLmind says its products will be maintained and possibly enhanced until April 3, 2027, then discontinued; the company plans to close a few months afterward.
Maker: XMLmind Software says it is a small company created in 2017 that develops and markets documentation-oriented XML tools.
