how to convert markdown with sub-markdowns to ebook

Question

main.md contain sub-mds:

main.md

1. [1 - ](1.md)
1. [2 - ](2.md)
1. [3 - ](3.md)
1. [4 - ](4.md)
1. [5 - ](5.md)
1. [6 - ](6.md)

I use calibre command:

ebook-convert main.md main.epub

But only the content of main.md is wrote to epub.

I found two things.

For me the link has to be written '( ./6.md )' with a space before and after the file specification.

Then I found the ebook-convert app wants html files for inputs. It complains that the inputs are "binary"

Thanks, it seems that calibre doesn't support md format very well.

"It complains that the inputs are "binary"." This is probably caused by extended ascii characters in the source file which should be only 7 bit text. Find the high ascii characters and remove or replace them with low ascii characters. Or set the text source file as utf-8. How to do that depends on the editor you are using.

I just use Pandoc and specify all .md files on the command line. Here is an incomplete command line: pandoc [some options] 1.md 2.md 3.md.

Source files go last, after all other options, on the command line.
