Recipe using a local file?

TheRevolutionist · 01-10-2012, 11:48 AM

Is it possible to use a local source file (e.g. a HTML or RSS file on my hard drive) in a recipe? I'm looking to create a magazine-format ebook, but don't want to put the content up on the web as an RSS feed.

Thanks for your help!

Sure, use URLS that start with file://. For example on windows: file:///C:\whatever or on unic file:///whatever
