EU Cyber Resilience Act - Ebook

This project generates an EPUB ebook of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) from the official Formex XML source.

Requirements

• curl and unzip - for downloading the source
• xsltproc - for XML transformation
• pandoc - for EPUB generation

On NixOS/with devenv, simply run devenv shell to get all dependencies.

Usage

Download the Formex XML source and build the EPUB:

make formex   # Download source XML from EUR-Lex
make          # Build cra.epub

Or in one step (if formex directory doesn't exist):

make formex && make

To clean up generated files:

make clean

How It Works

1. Source: The official Formex XML is downloaded from the EU Publications Office Cellar API
2. Transform: XSLT transforms the XML to clean HTML with proper structure
3. Convert: Pandoc converts the HTML to EPUB3 with embedded styles

Files

• render.xslt - XSLT transformation from Formex XML to HTML
• styles.css - Ebook styling
• metadata.yaml - EPUB metadata (title, author, etc.)
• Makefile - Build automation

Note: This repository only contains the transformation code, not the generated EPUB. You need to build the ebook yourself using the instructions above. I haven't investigated the legal situation around redistributing EU legislative documents and couldn't be bothered to figure it out.
