shlomif / rebookmaker Goto Github PK

PURPOSE

rebookmaker - an open source (MIT-licensed) re-implementation of Marcelo Lira’s ( @setanta ) ebookmaker.

It converts an EPUB definition inside a JSON file along with some input HTML and image files into an .epub.

See:

• https://github.com/setanta/ebookmaker/ - does not have an explicit licence, which prompted this re-implementation.
• https://pypi.org/project/ebookmaker/ - GPLv3 by Project Gutenberg and incompatible with @setanta 's .

INSTALLATION

pip3 install rebookmaker

NOTES

Since "ebookmaker" was taken on pypi and it is common courtesy to change the name, I picked "rebookmaker" since it was available on pypi and as a pun on reboots in fiction because it was a rewrite.

The issue where I requested an explicit licensing of the original project is here: setanta/ebookmaker#8 but I have yet to receive a reply.

You can find some examples for valid input by perusing the code in https://github.com/shlomif/screenplays-common and https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage . Preparing some less generic examples is on my TODO list.

This project aims for compatibility with setanta's project, but some functionality may be still missing and I also added some new one.
