Re:VIEW is an easy-to-use digital publishing system for paper books and ebooks.

Output formats Re:VIEW supports are:

• EPUB
• LaTeX
• InDesign (IDGXML)
• Markdown
• plain text (TOPBuilder Text Markup Language)

Re:VIEW uses its original format('Re:VIEW format') as source files. See doc/format.md.

There are two commands generate files directly.

• review-epubmaker: generate EPUB file.
• review-pdfmaker: generate PDF file using LaTeX (TeXLive).
• review-textmaker: generate text files.
• review-webmaker: generate Web pages.

And some useful commands.

• review-compile: compile Re:VIEW format files.
• review-vol: figure out size of Re:VIEW files.
• review-index: generate index with various format.
• review-preproc: preprocessor.
• review-epub2html: generate single HTML file from EPUB for CSS typesetting.
• review-update: update project files.

Install gem yourself as:

$ gem install review

Or build from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/kmuto/review.git
$ cd review
$ rake install

Or add the ./bin directory to your $PATH:

$ echo "export PATH=PATH_OF_REVIEW/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile

$ review-init hello
$ cd hello
$ (... add and edit *.re file, config.yml and catalog.yml ...)
$ rake epub  ## generating EPUB
$ rake pdf   ## generating PDF (Requirement TeXLive)
$ rake text  ## generating texts
$ rake web   ## generating Web pages

• Wiki pages: https://github.com/kmuto/review/wiki
• doc/* files (in English and Japanese)

• GitHub: https://github.com/kmuto/review

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
