A better file format than PDF or EPUB?

I think you can look at FB2 (FictionBook 2) format . That is an XML-based format, designed for publishing books. It includes images, though I am not sure if they can be aligned absolutely.

Also, you can simply go with HTML and do HTML-to-PDF rendering when needed (there exists various components and libraries for this). I don't see (or you have not listed) any reasons why this way doesn't work.

Maybe build a macro library to customize it, as needed. Groff/troff/nroff, the "run off" programs of Unix, can output to postscript or HTML. The jump from postscript to PDF is built in to some PDF viewers; there are also several existing programs for it, pstopdf, for example.

GROFF has some fixed layout options and some flow-like options. With GROFF, it's almost easier to base most of the printout on flowing text, within proscribed bounds.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
