Hi,
I wrote some Perl software to make EPUB books from Markdown files. Markdown is a simplified language to you can focus on writing, instead of XHTML. I'm looking for 1-2 testers for this software.
- You will have to install Perl on your machine. It's for any OS that supports Perl. I develop it on a flash drive using Strawberry Perl.
- You will have to know how to unzip a .ZIP file.
- It comes with a 00readme.md file with instructions.
- I'm looking for feedback on how to improve the program, and feed back on bugs.
- It's free software.
Let me know and I will PM you a Dropbox link.
Features
- It supports only Title and Author in metadata at this point. I'm looking for what other metadata it should support.
- Almost all the Markdown is supported. But authors should not be doing anything fancy as most ebook readers only support basic tags.
- An additional feature is added called Quicklinks. Anything that begins with "http", "https" or "ftp" in between < and > is a Quicklink that will be converted to an XHTML link. Example: <http://www.google.com>.
- In the build (.BLD) file is where you list all your source (.MD) files, images, and CSS files along with meta data.
- It supports multiple CSS files.
- It supports multiple MD (Markdown) source files. The order they are listed in the Build file is the order they will appear in the EPUB.
Thanks.
