Calibre now includes MS LIT converter: lit2lrf

[kovidgoyal]

try 0.4.10

[JSWolf]

Thanks! I'll give 0.4.91 (or whatever the version is) a try tonight then.

It worked with Autumn.lit as far as the indents go. But, the cover looks awful. It's left justified instead of nicely centered.

OK will fix that in the next release.

I may have jumped the gun a bit, but I noticed you'd posted 0.4.11 and gave it a whirl. While I've only briefly browsed the Autumn.lrf I created with it, so far it looks great - in fact much better than the version I worked so hard to create with BD The image wasn't perfectly centered, but it was only off by a bit (in fact, it looks like it was enlarged to just about fit the page). Nice job!!!

Glad to hear it. Yes the cover image is enlarged to fit the page.

Can the cover image be enlarged to fit the page/centered within the aspect ratio so it's not looking like a 4:3 picture made to fit 16:9?

[kovidgoyal]

Sure in the next version.

Heya Kovid,

I just converted some of my baen .lit files, and so far, all of them have generated the TOC without including it in the actual text (thanks!) but, unfortunately, the TOC doesn't work. No matter which TOC entry I select, they all just jump to the cover page.

The args I used were:
--disable-autorotation --header --left-margin=30 --right-margin=30 --baen --force-page-break-before-tag=h1 --use-spine

Hmm post a link to one of these lit files if they're free or send me one otherwise.

http://www.webscription.net/p-297-oath-of-swords.aspx should do. http://www.webscription.net/SendFile...D=297&format=M is the link to the file itself, but it might ot work if they have referrer filters in place. The first link will work.

[JSWolf]

Did you try without the --use-spine?

Same result here with 0.4.11. And I used no options. The problem is that the file 0671876422_top.htm never got parsed. It's the ToC file. I used CLIT to convert to HTML and it won't convert to BBeB. I started with 0671876422_top.htm and it's parsed 0671876422__p_.htm four times before I stopped it.

Fixed in 0.4.12 which will be available later today

You shouldn't have to parse the TOC file, as far as I know. The TOC entries in the OPF should give you all the information you need (when the "tour" in the OPF exists, that is)
notepad

 <tours>
  <tour id="chaptertour" title="Chapter Tour">
   <site title="Chapter One" href="0671876422__p_.htm#Chap_1" />
   <site title="Chapter Two" href="0671876422__p_.htm#Chap_2" />
   <site title="Chapter Three" href="0671876422__p_.htm#Chap_3" />
   <site title="Chapter Four" href="0671876422__p_.htm#Chap_4" />
