LRF output

[angelyne]

I made it work. Thank you so much for your help. And thank you making this great tool. Without dedicated people like you, we would have never been able to break out of the Sony Connect prison ...

[tsgreer]

Holy crap! We are at version 3.99!! Does that mean the 4.0 GUI version is almost here?!

[kovidgoyal]

Yeah there's basically only one thing left i have to implement.

[angelyne]

May I bug you with yet another question.

Is there a way you could define a style that would take the first letter of a paragraph and make it a drop cap.

I've seen a couple of similar style that does this but it's not compatible with your converter

here is one:

p.drop { text-indent: 0em; margin: 0em; }
p.drop:first-letter { font-size : 165%; font-weight : bold; width : .50em; }

I've been using your <p><big class='libprs500_dropcaps'></big> but I don't know how to turn that into a style.

And one last question ... what would be the command to make text smaller (that is accepted by html2lrf).

Can you open a feature request at libprs500.kovidgoyal.net and if I get the time I'll do it.

[angelyne]

Have done so. Thank you. It's ticket 167

Make that TWO things that need to be implemented.

I just created ticket #168 because I have a LIT file that HTML2LRF hangs on big time. I've attached the LIT file also. And I did try version 0.3.101.

[kovidgoyal]

It doesn't hang, it just takes a long time...about 20mins on my 3GHZ machine. That's because newer version of html2lrf optimize memory usage at the expense of running time, and that lit file has some seriously messy HTML.

[JSWolf]

hhhmm... Ok, I'll try again and this time leave it running. Thanks!

It'll reach the servers in ~30min.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It works VERY nicely!!

Quick question. Did you fix the problem where you have to install the USB drivers to get libprs500 to work?

[kovidgoyal]

I think I did, though I haven't tested it.

I haven't used html2lrf in a while. I'm trying to help my friends at almudi.org to convert the breviary in Latin to BBeB format since they graciously loaned me the source files. I have a folder of html files (all linked together) to convert and I'm getting the following error back from the latest version as of this post:

[INFO] convert_from.py:187: Processing completorium.html
        Parsing HTML...

This is from the command (where completorium.html is the index file):

html2lrf -t "Liturgia Horarum: ad Completorium" -a "Ecclesia Catholica" --publisher="almudi.org" --header --headerformat=%t --link-levels=1 --disable-chapter-detection --verbose ./completorium.html
