That is all you need to do and demo.lrf will be in the same directory as demo.html.

Thank you, I was assuming that I had to be in the libprs directory to access the executable.

Oh, I noticed a problem with the code you added to remove the extra <p> in Baen books, I tried to work out why it was happening, and in looking at your source I think I worked it out.
In your BAEN processing stuff, it looks like you have code that strips out the <a id="pXXX"> lines right before you try to strip out the whole <p> including them. I assume the second one never works since the first one has already modified the lines.

Good catch, I've re-ordered them.

The CSS option text-indent controls this.

Is there some method for forcing page breaks other than using a regex? My most recent baen purchase is doing weird things at the page breaks. (Especially since the CSS specifically tells it to page-break-before all H1 tags)
One such case is this:

Code:

  <h1 align="center">
   <a name="Chap_2">
   </a>
   <b>MAY, YEAR OF GOD 890</b>
  </h1>
  <h2 align="center">
   <b>I</b>
  </h2>

In that case, the page break happens between the H1 and the H2, which is pretty weird. Is there some tag we can use to force a page break? Or is there some way we can tell it that <h1> always signifies a new chapter, irrespective of it's contents?

Look at the CHAPTER OPTIONS help text in the html2lrf help.

Hello, I am a bit of a newb at this. I was using the "old" html2LRF program for a long time this morning, converting html files from gaslight and it was working great- until it suddenly decided to stop working with no error messages or explanations.

So I found this thread and downloaded this newer program. I tested it on a small html file from gaslight, and it seemed to work, until i tried to bring the new .lrf file into the "CONNECT Reader" program's library. Any time I tried to import the file, the connect reader program would exit without any warning. I tried some more html files with the same result.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

edit: just used it on a gutenberg zipped html file and it worked perfectly... so maybe there is a problem with the gaslight texts?

Here is one of the gaslight files i tried to convert and couldn't read properly:

That's because the entire text is inside a single table cell. The old HTML2LRF simply ignored table markup the new one processes it, incorrectly in this case. I'll upload a fixed version soon.

Bokeh · 07-20-2007, 01:36 PM

great, thanks! And thanks in general for making such an awesome program!

kovidgoyal · 07-20-2007, 03:26 PM

Released v0.3.78 with --ignore-tables option.

@Bokeh
Use the commandline

Code:

html2lrf --ignore-tables gaslight.htm

bkilian · 07-22-2007, 03:42 AM

hehe, back again...
I'm trying to indent an entire paragraph (not just the first line), something like what <blockquote> does. I've tried margin-left and margin-right, and padding-left and padding-right, both do the right thing in my browser, but html2lrf ignores both of them. Is there something I should be using for this?

kovidgoyal · 07-22-2007, 04:40 AM

html2lrf doesn't support block level indentation other than through <blockquote> as I didn't really see any need for it.

classicspam · 08-01-2007, 09:59 PM

I know it may seem to be a waste of time, however would it be feasible to add an option in the future to put a new line (blank) in between paragraphs?

kovidgoyal · 08-01-2007, 10:05 PM

open a ticket and I'll get around to it.

Please make sure it's gotten around to after version 10.9.
