Announcing BBeB Binder 0.2
Hi all:
I would like to announce version 0.2 of BBeB Binder - a program for converting HTML into LRF files.
The developer notes contain our current release plan going forward. If you would like to see a feature that isn't there, or maybe have one re-prioritized then please speak up. Thanks for helping out by testing BBeB Binder - and once again thanks to all of you developers whose hard work much of our understanding of the BBeB format is based! |

I opened the HTML file and then converted it. No additional steps.

You are going to force me to set up one machine in Net 2.9 aren't you. I have avoided this forever and do not even run Net 1.0. Why are all of these new great products requiring Net 2.0. (The question mark is omitted from the last sentance since it is not really a question.)

hey cmumford, this worked great for me. Nice maps in my book and TOC (once I got the HTML right) worked too. Great improvement. Now I just have to get my HTMLs correct.
Thanks, |

Thanks cmumford, looking really good. I had to manually run vs_piaredist.exe or it kept crashing for me on startup.
Noticed the automatic filename creation causes problems if the title has special characters in it. Is the "table of contents" eventually going to go into BBeB's TOC instead of a displayed page? |

I've been modeling the book creation after the existing books that I've seen. Right now I'm putting just two entries in the BBeB's TOC section, one of them is to a TOC page which I've seen in just about every book on the reader. I've never seen a book with more than about four BBeB TOC entries - have you? I could easily have an option to put the TOC entries into the BBeB TOC section and not create a page. There's no way to express hierarchy, but that may not be a big problem for many books. I wonder how the reader would behave if there were 50 or more TOC entries there? |

I regularly generate BBeBs from Gutenberg HTML books using my gutlrf.pl scripts (which uses HTML2LRF) and some books can have loads of TOC entries without any problems on the Reader.
Also many Gutenberg books, for example, already contain a TOC with links so you'd be generating two TOCs. |

Hey, cmumford, I've enjoyed using BBeB Binder 0.2 but it seems that the font always changes to Times Roman on the Reader. I use Arial and that shows correctly on the Connect SW on my computer. It also says Arial in BBeB Binder. Any ideas?
