Thanks very much kovidgoyal, now I understand what they do.
Some variables seem to be passed to ebook-convert automatically from the recipe without the need for an entry in the conversion_options list.
The class variables 'title', 'extra_css', '__author__', all seem to be passed from the recipe to ebook-convert.
Also the ebook-convert command line option '--pubdate' is filled automatically by the string described in 'timefmt'.
Have I got that all correct?
Or should I be doing this?
Code:
conversion_options = {
'title' : title,
'authors' : __author__,
'comments' : description,
'tags' : category,
'language' : language,
'publisher' : publisher,
'extra-css' : extra_css,
'linearize_tables' : False }
Thanks.
PS. Should I explicitly set 'linearize_tables' to False? Or is that the default?
PPS. Is there somewhere where I can read what gets passed to ebook-convert without the need of an entry in conversion_options?
Cheers.
