Sigh another typo. I'll release a new version soon.

As long as it's *your* typo, I'm not complaining a bit

Works well! Thanks for a great piece of software!

A couple quick questions:

1) Is it possible to do footnotes using html2lrf? What's the best way to handle them?

2) Has anyone tried to come up with a style to mimic a title page? What's the best way to do vertical spacing that looks good at different font sizes.

thanks,
Eddie

Well, I got links working in a footnote type style, but I have a formatting problem.

I can make an internal hyperlink that isn't superscript, or superscript that isn't an internal hyperlink. But I can't make a text block that's both. I've tried both the tag and the css style: text-align: supercript;

Any suggestions?

kovidgoyal · 08-31-2007, 03:31 PM

yeah html2lrf doesn't support links in sup/sub for technical reasons.

beowulf573 · 08-31-2007, 04:03 PM

Ah, ok, thanks. I used lrf2lrs to try and figure out what was going on and figured it was just a limitation of the format.

beartard · 09-08-2007, 12:02 PM

I have an interesting issue with html2lrf. I can't seem to put a meta-tag in the lrf file that has exclamation points at the end. For example when I use

Code:

-t "This book sucks!"

I get a response that

Code:

bash event: !" not found.

Am I doing something wrong?

kovidgoyal · 09-08-2007, 12:11 PM

Use -t 'title!'

i.e. single quotes

I knew I was being stupid somehow ;-)

Is there a way to go from PDF to html in such a way that I can use the HTML converter that won't thrash the formatting and images? Generally with PDF converting I see that either the whole thing is made into images (large file size), or the formatting is completely gone. I'm very interested in finding a way to keep "code" fonts and images inside the code, but get larger font sizes than PDF's give on the 6 inch screen.

I like to read programming books (which always have images and code examples).

kovidgoyal · 09-08-2007, 11:28 PM

Nope there is no way to do that. PDF is a partially rasterized format. As far as I know it isn't possible to convert PDFs with high fidelity. Rasterization is the only way to go for complex PDFs.

I find that inserting blank lines in the form of are ignored by the converter. What code, if any, could I use to actually create a blank line.

Interesting, that shouldn't happen can you post a code snippet that demonstrates this. You can use empty paragraphs 

EDIT: Also note that a single causes a line break, not a blank line. For a blank line you need
