Thanks for the tip! While I've had a Sony Reader for some time now, this is my first venture into ebook conversion. Your help is most appreciated (as is the contributions of all in this forum). And while in the end I used BD, kudos to kovidgoyal for libprs500 - which I'm sure will come in handy too.

Since missing paragrpah indents are a common problem with lit files there will be a workaround in the next version of lit2lrf.

But I don't see any way around the missing ToC and the use of apostrophes as quotes instead of quotes as quotes.

kovidgoyal · 10-11-2007, 12:25 PM

If the lit file has an opf with a spine element, the TOC will be generated by the --use-spine option (once I implement it). As for apostrophes, is that really such a big deal?

kovidgoyal · 10-11-2007, 01:22 PM

Actually I tried converting that lit file and the indents are fine. See attached LRF.

JSWolf · 10-11-2007, 01:35 PM

I have 0.4.8. I'm trying again. maybe it didn't work with 0.4.7?

JSWolf · 10-11-2007, 01:42 PM

What options did you use? For me it did not work as seen here by the attachment.

All I did was "lit2lrf Autumn.lit"

kovidgoyal · 10-11-2007, 02:05 PM

Strange I didn't use any options either. Maybe it's a windows specific thing. Or maybe there's some change since 0.4.8 that fixed it. I'll try it in windows and see.

I'd be interested how you managed it when we could not.

kovidgoyal · 10-11-2007, 02:23 PM

It worked for me in windows as well. Can you check it after I release 0.4.9 and let me know. Thanks.

Sure can. Thanks! I hope it works here.

kovidgoyal · 10-13-2007, 01:37 PM

version 0.4.9 is on its way to the servers. It should automatically use the spine data from lit files.
