perfect-edition-pollen's Introduction

Perfect Edition (Pollen version)

This is an Pollen port of Robin Sloan’s Perfect Edition template for web books and ebooks. See that repo for a preview of what this looks like.

All that you see here was coded during a live streaming session that is part of my Pollen Time series, where I teach Pollen publishing techniques. The recordings for this particular project are on YouTube (Part 1, Part 2).

For this repo I have substituted a portion of a very old novel, The King in Yellow, for Robin’s own novel, to avoid any copyright transgressions.

If you have Pollen and Racket installed, you can build the ebook like so:

raco pollen render book.html

Or, to generate the ePub file:

raco pollen render book.epub

If you’re editing the book, you might also want to use Pollen’s web server to view your changes live in the HTML version:

raco pollen start -l

The -l flag will automatically launch your web browser to http://localhost:8080/index.ptree once the server is started.

Still a bit rough around the edges! Contributions welcome.

perfect-edition-pollen's Issues

A couple of problems

I've downloaded the code, installed Racket and Pollen, and then did as the README.MD file says, i.e. raco pollen render book.html. Everything works fine, but the book cover doesn't appear. When I checked book.html there was no image quoted on this line: . When I check book.poly.pmd this line is present: ◊(define-meta cover-image "img/king-cover.jpg"). If I edit book.html and include the name of the image file, everything works fine. Any thoughts?

My other problem, is that when I try to create the ebook, I get the following error:

C:\Webmaster,pnfs.org.uk\web\projects\books\original>raco pollen render book.epub
pollen: rendering book.epub
pollen: rendering /book.poly.pmd as epub
The system cannot find the path specified.
Error building epub file!

Again, any thoughts

Add images to text

I've got this example working more or less as I want. However, I'd like to include some images amongst the text. Can someone suggest how I can do that? Many thanks.
