One more time - a new draft of my calibre Help file

BeccaPrice · 06-22-2012, 02:02 PM

I *think* this is ready for beta testing. I've saved everyone's comments and taken into consideration everything I could.

I'd really appreciate comments, suggestions, criticisms, anything I can do to improve it.

(note for people new to my efforts: this is for a class, and isn't intended to be a full help system for calibre, or to replace the wonderful user manual in any way.)

Thanks!

Me again

Note: you can drag and drop multiple books in one go.
You made a recommendation on Not to download tags (I agree) but gave no reason

('Gets Every tag that could be ever
applied and the Kitchen Sink too.')

Code:

Ebooks in general are very limited in the formats that can be converted, and mobi format is particularly limited.

Each Ebook format has limitations. Converting to a different format may lose formatting. (your example was a good one)

In the About Sorting Tags topic, I mention that publishers use lots of tags, which can make searching unwieldy - I linked to that topic on the Configuring Metadata topic, but I'll make that connection clearer.

And thanks for the suggestions - I've added dragging multiple books to that topic. I've also clarified the caution about converting from one format to another.
