LRF output - Page 10

JSWolf · 05-22-2007, 03:00 PM

I'm having a problem with html2lrf with page breaks. The following HTML sample only breaks in one place when it should have 4 page breaks if I read the directions correctly. If I am doing something wrong, please tell me. Thanks!

Since nobody seems to have replied yet: I prefer to control the size/format manually, depending on the image. If they are landscape though:

When you switch the reader into landscape mode, the only rotation for the text afaik is the one with the tiny useless page turn buttons on top, or more importantly, the big round button on the left. So I'd rather have the images rotated the same way, rather than having to turn it upside down for the images only.

To force page breaks you have to put a style="page-break-before: always" in the tag. Automatic page-breaking only kicks in if the current page already has a lot of contents and is intended to prevent LRF slowdowns.

Released 0.3.37
1) Changed autorotation to anti-clockwise by (not very) popular demand
2) Various bug fixes

kovidgoyal, how can I download the source? Can't seem to see a link for SVN (Subversion).

Zip at the bottom.
Though it might be simpler to just use SVN (https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/wiki/Development).

FangornUK · 05-23-2007, 10:42 AM

igorsk, thanks that's what I was after.

kovidgoyal · 05-23-2007, 01:48 PM

Released 0.3.38
1) Improved algorithm for calculating table cell widths (now respects minimum width)
2) Added support for width=% attributes of <td> tags

Kovid:

I noticed an odd thing with the font-delta support. When I shrink the font, all the inter-line spacing remains unchanged. That winds up looking pretty odd. Perhaps when shrinking the font 2x the (negative) number of points you should also reduce the interline spacing by, say, 1x the number of points.

kovidgoyal · 05-23-2007, 02:23 PM

Released 0.3.39:
1) Adjust linespacing appropriately when font-delta is used.

I am sorry but I am going to ask a pretty stupid question.
It is a command line tool, right? There is no gui?

It does have the GUI for qt (prs500-gui). Look at homepage: https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/

astra · 05-24-2007, 10:47 AM

Oh, I see. I have to execute this command to get the GUI. Just like old win 3.11

Thanks

The HTML2LRF utility is a command line tool and doesn't have any GUI. People seem to be afraid of Command Line tools unfortunately even though a utility like this is dead easy to use. Don't be put off!

kovidgoyal · 05-24-2007, 12:47 PM

Actually atleast on windows there should be an icon installed to both the Start menu and the desktop. But the GUI right now doesn't have a component for html2lrf...that will come in version 0.4.0
