Hmm, doesn't seem to be working:
$ epub-meta accelerando.epub Reader (Sony PRS-505) doesn't show up any collections. Anything else I need to do?

you need to transfer it to the reader using the GUI

Ah, this is exactly the part I wanted to avoid. Blast. I take that it's the xml db on the reader itself that gets updated during transfer? Any chance of having this functionality as a separate binary/script? Something like:
transfer2reader file1 file2 file3 /path/to/root/of/sdcard/or/reader ? Pretty please? |

yeah the xml db has to be updated. Sorry, too much work implementing a CLI for that.

Aw, come on. It's all python modules that are already there, no?

Not exactly what you want, but it does create collections from command line.

Change of subject:
Kovid, I believe Nate opened a ticket about an EPUB conversion bug relating to << and >> marks used in text causing problems in the epub version. (Came up in a conversion of the Diamonds in the Sky online anthology.) Is that something likely to be corrected soon, or should we look for a workaround for that version? Thanks. |

That works for me, as I've indicated on the ticket. Some details about what OS and calibre version were used would be helpful

Hi,
firstly thank you for Calibre. I have a little problem. I have a .txt ebook encoded in cp1250 (Central European). When I convert it to .lrf I have to specify "source encoding" because it doesn't autodetect correctly. So far so good. But when I tried to convert it to .epub specifying "cp1250" on "Look & Feel => Source encoding" didn't help. Probably because it's for .html files only as comment says. Same applies for converting to .mobi. I have Calibre 0.4.141 on Ubuntu 8.10 Thanks Laco |

Hi,
looking for a tip to fix this problem when converting to epub (previously from html.toc file) : I tried to use linearise tables but no luck. Just trying to make the text flowable so the right sides doesn t go off screen when viewed on my prs 505. Any css overide that could fix the problem? thanks Last edited by Student1; 03-02-2009 at 07:41 PM. |

@Student1
That's probably from a <pre> tag in the HTML. Unfortunately AFAIK you can't control the line wrapping with CSS |
