Re: [CODE4LIB] Pidgin, Digsby and others?

We're in year 2 of using libraryh3lp.com. It's worked well for us. I use Digsby as my client on Windows. As a Jabber client, it connects to Libraryh3lp and I prefer it over Pidgin. Libraryh3lp keeps transcripts and stats. I occasionally pull transcripts from Digsby directly, but I'm not sure wha

Anthologize's ePub output is decidedly plain. It does do TOCs; it probably won't fix all of your bad HTML. It also operates pretty differently from your script in that it doesn't take the formatted HTML as the starting point. In the output process Anthologize dumps the Anthologize project struct

Given my journal2epub script's experience with the Code4Lib journal site, does Anthologize have an option to produce TOC items from post headings, modifying the HTML to add IDs where necessary? Does it map links to posts with their offline copies, preserving references? Does it try to add the large

Anthologize lets you be as picky as you like about the content you use with it. Essentially you create multiple Anthologize 'projects', then add the whatever subset of content you need (native local WordPress content or content imported via a feed) to the project. The Anthologize content is added

As I recall, one of the editors mentioned Anthologize a while back and, at the time, we decided it wasn't a super good fit. Perhaps we ought to reconsider. We're running WordPress 3.0.4, so that's not an issue. On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 11:45 AM, Eric Lease Morgan wrote: > On Jan 4, 2011, at 11:40 A

The Journal actually is hosted on WordPress, although I'm not sure if it's a recent enough version for the plug-in. I had the impression looking at it before that Anthologize would only make an 'anthology' of your entire wordpress site. Is there any easy way to get it to, for instance, make a

As Peter notes below, Anthologize is a WordPress 3 plugin -- and I should add in a alpha release state -- so a WP 3 install where you can install plug-ins is a pre-requisite. But it does have a feed importer, so given a complete RSS feed it would provide a relatively plain ePub output option. Th
