LRF output - Page 23

Yeah in an ideal world it would. Since I've never come across a lit file with txt in it, it isn't a priority. If you need that feature feel free to submit a patch on the bug report https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/126

Incidentally, lit2lrf does read the opf file, for the metadata.

Cool, cool. I believe you should be using the OPF file for just about everything since it is, in essence, the .CUE file of the .OPF's .BIN.

I'll add that bug later tonight from work

I see you monitor your threads closely, good on ya! It's great to see a dev so on-the-ball

Keep up the great work, btw!

Somebody needs to bug SONY to fix the LRF renderer on the reader to not right justify text that is left aligned. I suspect they did that because the engineers developing the renderer were japanese and didn't realize that right justification is bad for english text.

Hey, put in the .txt glitch (I'd say it isn't a full-blown bug since it can be edited by hand and html2rlf run on it, but that defeats the purpose of lit2lrf, doesn't it?

and also added the CSS from the commandline as an enhancement. I added possible solutions as well, to help you out.

Maybe I could learn some python or convert it to java or something... *ponder* who knows, either way, hope that helped you out

And I'd actually love to see the proprietary formats go away and just use HTML. Perhaps a stripped down Gecko HTML engine in place of the LRF engine that's made to just display HTML & CSS without all the added junk? Maybe keep the plugin enhancement system so that you could add display of LIT or other proprietary formats (having been converted to HTML with the plugin...). Now THAT would be something to see

Wait. Did you say the reader is getting additional format support?

"In addition, with versions for mobile platforms and reading devices also planned, Sony has committed to embed Adobe Digital Editions technology into its portable reader product line."
However, I wouldn't expect it before we see Linux version of Digital Editions, and we don't know if the support will make it into PRS-500 and not just the next generation.

i seriously, seriously have no idea how to use this converting gui.

Is there a guide of dummies anywhere? cause everybody seems to know what they are doing

kovidgoyal · 08-13-2007, 12:10 PM

its not a GUI. Its a commandline app (at least for the moment).
Start -> Run -> cmd.exe

Code:

cd c:\path\to\your\folder
html2lrf yourbook.html

kovidgoyal · 08-13-2007, 12:45 PM

bluelight · 08-13-2007, 01:02 PM

HarryT · 08-13-2007, 01:05 PM

Are you running it from the folder containing your HTML file?

if the options are showing that means you did not specify the file name correctly. If the filename has spaces in it you need to enclose it with quotes
