Librarian converts XML-based markup language used by FNP for writing books to other formats, which are more suitable for presentation.

Currently we support:

• HTML4, XHTML 1.0
• Plain text
• EPUB (XHTML based)
• print-ready PDF

Other features:

• extract DublinCore meta-data from documents;
• extract marked "themes" from documents.

• lxml http://codespeak.net/lxml/, version 2.2 or later
• additional PDF converter dependencies:
  • XeTeX with support for Polish language
  • TeXML http://getfo.org/texml/
  • recommended: morefloats LaTeX package, version >=1.0c for dealing with documents with many motifs in one paragraph. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/morefloats.html

Librarian uses standard Python distutils for packaging. After installing all the dependencies just run:

python setup.py install

PDF converter also needs the Junicode-WL fonts (librarian/pdf/JunicodeWL-*.ttf) installed. In Debian/Ubuntu, put those files in ~/.fonts/ and run `fc-cache'.

To convert a series of files to XHTML:

book2html file1.xml [file2.xml ...]

To convert a series of files to plain text:

book2txt file1.xml [file2.xml ...]

To convert a file to EPUB:

book2epub file.xml

To convert a file to PDF:

book2pdf file.xml

To extract book fragments marked as "theme":

bookfragments file1.xml [file2.xml ...]
