there is also calibre's command line interface and pandoc
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/. I did some brief experiments
using calibre, using the html output from PublishPDF on a big html
file generated from a pmwiki trail page.
maybe it's a bit off-topic in relation to responsive webdesign,
Quite right; topic changed.
but I worked for some time on tools to export a pmwiki website to pdf
and to epub (I probably posted the links some time ago).
Interesting!
There is a catch, though, because it's not using the default pmwiki
syntax, but it's probably possible to either export the default syntax
to txt2tags, or to adapt the tools to the legit pmwiki syntax.
Since Calibre works off xhtml, it should be practical to start from
standard pmwiki syntax, with the markup rules modified if needed to
produce xhtml suitable for Calibre to ingest.
It must be run from the command line on the pmwiki installation (but
you can use a mirror, you do backup your pmwiki data, don't you?), and
requires LaTeX, python, some perl and bash regex and Calibre.
So for example for this RPG background (in French):
http://anamnese.online.fr/granderegion/
We can get:
- http://anamnese.online.fr/granderegion/uploads/granderegion.pdf
- http://anamnese.online.fr/granderegion/uploads/granderegion.epub
The project:
https://code.google.com/p/pmwiki-efo/
Ideally, I think one wants a standard pmwiki recipe, preferably without
any third party software like Calibre. However, to get there it may be
sensible to start with Calibre as a black box epub creator, get that
working within pmwiki, then figure out what it's doing and re-cast it
into php. Presumably we can reuse the epub css file included in the
above link.
As an initial working assumption, it may be reasonable to define the use
case as: "use a trail page or pagelist as input to a pmwiki action which
generates an epub, stores it in the upload directory, and returns a link
to it."
Comments?
