Research direction

Start with gknowledge/core/parsers.py and review how existing document formats are parsed and ingested. Run make test to check the core tests, then add a small EPUB fixture and verify that .epub files import and ingest successfully.

Done when: .epub files import and ingest, with a small test fixture.

New here? Run make start to open a demo project that restarts on every save, and make test for the core tests. See CONTRIBUTING.md. Comment below to claim the issue.
