Mass converting HTMLs in nested folders to ebooks

roteg · 09-20-2016, 04:46 AM

Hi,

[I post here too because I'm not sure I'll get answer where I posted first, sorry if it's not the place - I'll understand if you delete]

I have many HTML pages which I would like to batch transform to ebooks.
I tried mass zipping with winrar (each to separate folder) and changing extensions to HTMLZ. But the reader (Calibre ebook reader for example) can't recognize them because each html is in nested subfolder(s) inside the zipped file (because that's the original file structure which I need to deal with when I zip).

for example:

c:\

book1\book1\book1.htm
book1\book1\book1_files\

book2\page_from_web\page1.htm
book2\page_from_web\page1_files\

book3\book\ebook\mybook\this_is_very_nested_one\bo ok1.htm
book3\book\ebook\mybook\this_is_very_nested_one\bo ok1_files\

How do I make it right?

Mostly: Nope

Multiple (per book) HTML (and supporting images & Fonts) needs a single control (like index.htm)

From the FAQ https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...specific-order

IMHO The FAQ is the first place I recommend looking for any Question about how to use / resolve an Issue with Calibre

I made a vbscript to dig into the directory structure and zip the folder where html file is in.
thanks, solved!
