Great script, some notes:
- I had to softlink /usr/bin/xmlstarlet to a /usr/bin/xml which the script seems to think is the name of the xmlstartlet program? (I'm on stock FC10, xmlstarlet from standard package repos). No big headache though.
- If I use the -S option it won't load my specified stylesheet, instead trying to load default.css - if that doesn't exist it throws an error (circumvented by renaming my style sheet default.css)
- the generated bookmarks seem odd at times.For some Calibre-generated epubs I got a multilevel TOC like
- <book name>
---<author>
------produced by calibre (version)
Other than that, it looks rather spiffy
I had some issues with it ignoring my css and defaulting to the book CSS, but forcing lots of !importants everywhere seems to solve it. Still, I would expect -S to override everything as per your previous post, but that doesn't seem to happen always.
