LRF output

No, I don't believe there are any links that refer to the specific paragraphs. Just removing the <p> would be a perfectly reasonable compromise too

OK added it to SVN.

After a very positive experience with libprs500 and Kovid's patient support, I am seriously considering moving totally over to version .4 in lieu of Connect.

Questions:

1. Any guess when .4 will be available?
2. Will "Genre" be one of your metadata elements?

Great job

if you don't use Connect, you cannot purchase books at the Connect store. If that is not an issue, go for it. Of course, if you have multiple computers, you can install Libprs500 on one and Connect on the other as long as both computers run 32-bit Windows.

1 month < 0.4.0 < 3 months

You should use the Tags facility in libprs500 to specify genre metadata. The search bar searches over tags as well.

I've got four systems going on five; thanks for the advice.

Hello,

First off, Thanks for the great program!

I seem to have run into a bug... not sure if it is by design, though..

I am converting an ebook (Thinking in Java, from http://mindvew.net), and have run into an issue with html blockquotes.

This book uses the block quotes for code samples, and while html2lrf does "block" the text, it doesn't seem to convert any of the html....

what should be this:

 monitor.expect(new String[] {
      "1: n1.i: 9, n2.i: 47",
      "2: n1.i: 47, n2.i: 47",
      "3: n1.i: 27, n2.i: 27"
    });

comes out like this:

    monitor.expect(<font color="#0000ff">new</font> String[] {
      <font color="#004488">"1: n1.i: 9, n2.i: 47"</font>,
      <font color="#004488">"2: n1.i: 47, n2.i: 47"</font>,
      <font color="#004488">"3: n1.i: 27, n2.i: 27"</font>
    });

I suppose i could come up with some regex to remove the "font" tags...

Post a simple html file that reproduces the problem. Just copy paste one of the blockquote sections along with any css sections/files.

Here you go...

I included a section with several blockquotes, and the css, and the .lrf output.

Thanks,

Dave

Hmm see what you mean...two line fix will be in next release.

Hi,
I'm using the command line version of html2lrf, and I'm trying to use the --chapter-regex to build the toc, but it doesn't behave as I expect it to.

Other than that I'm loving what I've seen so far.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

Here is the command I am using:
C:\html2lrf>html2lrf -a "Author" -t "Title" --chapter-regex="<I>(Chapter [1-9]+[,].*)</I>" --font-delta=-2 "c:\ebooks\MyBook.htm"

The regex I'm using here works in other situations, but I'm not familiar with the implementation here, so perhaps the syntax should be different.

The Chapter headings in the html doc look like this:
<I>Chapter 1, Title of Chapter 1</I>


Any help would be appreciated.

Released v0.3.72:
1) Support for nested lists
2) Bug fixes

[kovidgoyal]

You shouldn't have the <I> tags in the regex, it matches on the contents of the tag. Infact the default regex should work for you.

[yonkz]

Wow, fast response - kovidgoyal!

OK, I reread the quick little blurb about the chapter regex from the help, and came to a realization of what the problem was.

The chapter regex only looks for matches inside a <H1> or other H tag, so since these were not inside H tags, they weren't found.

What I had to do was use another program (just whipped up a quick c# app) to wrap the matches in H1 tags, and save a copy of the file with the new tags, than re-ran the cmd line utility, and all was well.



Do you think it would be possible to optionally remove the requirement for the chapter regex match to look for the H tags, and just use the supplied regular expression to find the chapter headings?

Thanks
