The windows installer basically installs into a single directory. It is py2exe'd. If you dont want the GUI just delete the libprs500 executable and any Qt/PyQt related things in c:\program files\libprs500 and bundle it into a zip file.

Released v0.3.62 with a bunch of bug fixes for bugs that crawled in the the previous couple of releases.

I got the problem below after downloading and saving the html from http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/19694 into your libprs500 directory.

Should be fixed in 0.3.62. Also you don't need to save the files in the libprs500 directory. You can save them in any directory. html2lrf is on your PATH so you can invoke it from any directory.

I do have an interesting bug to report. The line spacing in the last line of a paragraph seem to be off. Seems to be more spacing then the other lines in a paragraph.

Wow you have sharp eyesight, now that you point it out I notice it too. Frankly, I have no idea what's causing it and to me it seems like a pretty marginal effect, so I'm going to ignore it, as I have a little too much on my plate at the moment. If you feel it deserves attention, open a bug report and I'll get around to it...eventually.

I'm one of those types that sometimes things just stand out to me. I used to help proofread because I'd see things that just leapt off the page at me. Yes, I'll open a bug report for it later tonight. It just looks odd. What I might do is have a go at converting the LRF into LRS and seeing if I can see what might be causing it. I'll try that before I post the bug report because if I do fine it, then it might be easy enough for you to fix sooner rather then later.

I found the source of the bug. It has to do with baselineskip.

kovidgoyal · 06-30-2007, 11:57 PM

Why would baselineskip affect only the last line of the paragraph? It should affect the entire textblock

It only happens with an embedded font. Without it seems to be fine.

kovidgoyal · 07-01-2007, 12:54 PM

It's probably a bug in the LRF rendering software on the reader. I really cannot think of anything in the LRF file that would affect only the last line of a psragraph.

Is there a recommended or supported way to do drop caps?
I have a word exported HTML file I can send you (It's a book a friend wrote), but html2lrf sticks the drop cap on a line by itself.

I attached images to show what I meant.

kovidgoyal · 07-03-2007, 02:20 AM

Well you cant acheive an actual drop caps. The best that you can do is an image whoose base is aligned with the base of the line.

something like this should achieve that

Code:

<p>
<img src='smallimage.jpg' />his is the first line.
</p>

If the image is larger than a certain size it gets put onto a line by itself, so make sure the image is small enough.

Ok, I replaced the bizarre table based drop cap with a much simpler larger first letter. I know this is possible, since all the books I bought from the connect store (all 3 of them

) do it.

Code:

<font size="+3">T</font>he road leading out of
Constantinople was dusty, the stones thirsty after

which should look ssomething like

Quote:

However, html2lrf just ignored it and kept the first letter of the chapter the same size as all the others. Is this supported?

Edit: Never mind. the trick is to use proper CSS, and not <font size="+3">. It appears to not understand relative font sizes.

kovidgoyal · 07-03-2007, 06:01 PM

Use <big>T</big>he

Released v0.3.66 with support for dropcaps, see the attached demo in the first post of this thread.
