Hi.

This tool is extremely useful - if it didn't exist, I'd have to write it myself!

However I've found a slight problem - it seems to not want to load images if the file extension isn't set correctly on them. I'm converting Mobipocket files (not being in the US I have to either blag credit for the Connect store or buy my books elsewhere...) and the images don't come with proper names. Right now I just spit out extentionless files matching the IDs in the file, but although they view fine in a IE, converting them to LRF loses the images. If I manually fix up the filenames and links to include the image extension, it works.

I could write some smarter post-processing stuff at this end, but is there a simple fix for html2lrf that would get around this?

Are the images embedded using <img> tags or <a> tags?

So far I've only seen <img> tags, they don't seem to be used for linking very often.

In that case I don't see why they should be omitted. Send me some example files with the image files as well.

Ok, I'll need to try to construct an example as the ones I'm actually using are obviously copyright...

Are you converting MobiPocket files with DRM? If so, I'd love to know how.

Yup. The DRM isn't too tricky to decode. However I'm probably on slightly dodgy territory if I say too much about that - I'm only doing it for my own use on files I own, and I have no plans to distribute the tools I've written to strip the DRM out.

Ok, here's a simple example of the problem - I've included the generated LRF file as well as the html source and image files...

Fixed in svn.

I really enjoy this tool, I've been using it more and more. I've even started to learn a little html so I could edit the books more to my liking before converting them into BBeB.

There is one thing I can't seem to do however, and that's due to my poor skill with html. I'd like to be able to center text vertically on a page. Can this be done easily? I searched but only ended up more confused. I figured that by asking here, I'd get an answer that's appropriate to the BBeB format. Sorry to ask what is probably a really newbie-ish question.

Glad to hear it. No you cannot center text vertically on a page. As far as I know the LRF format doesn't have any support for doing this in a reflowable fashion. A workaround you could use is inserting a few blank lines above the text and force a page break before and after.

I'm surprised by the two last comments.
I read a lot of webpages on the Sony Reader with the help of your tool, html2lrf.
Some of the pages I save on my hardrive for processing by html2lrf aren't properly edited (since usually I strip everything that's not useful from the page with a little bookmarklet, CSS and page style are messed up), and I end up several time with paragraph that are center vertically on the page, (justified on the left and right, but the first and last line are centered vertically).

How can one make hanging indents with html2lrf?

Interesting can you send me an example?
