If you update the metadata for the txt file in the GUI, the metadata gets uploaded to the reader, so in the reader list of books the txt file is identified by its metadata

Will this allow graphics to be placed next to text? Will it allow multiple fonts? Will it allow different font sizes?

I understood what you were asking, JSWolf -- I think this isn't a book creation tool, but rather a book transfer/file management tool.
![]() I could, however, easily be wrong, as a lot of Kovid's discussion swishes right over my head, and I admit that I haven't been following it as closely as I might. ![]() |

Hmm I have to add a features list to the wiki at some point:
Initially libprs500 started out as a file transfer tool to avoid having to use the connect s/w which is especially important for people who dont use windows. However, it has since evolved to book an ebook library management application. It maintains a searchable database of your ebooks. The database is capable of storing each logical book in various ebook formats, and it knows enough to edit/read the metadata from various ebbok formats. Eventually it will have support for automatic conversion from txt/html -> lrf. Coming to the converter subsystem. As a first step it will support common CSS properties, including font sizes/weights/styles. It's almost at that point already. Then I will add support for Image blocks and then support for importing html for links to external files. Support for inline images and tables will be on a longer timescale. The important thing is that all my tools are GPLed and designed to be cross platform from the start. |

Keep up the good work. As for the inline images, I got it _almost_ working in htmlbbeb, except for the fact that the plot command is not handled correctly by MSH_Parser. I started writing my own lrs-->lrf parser with the help of code from pylrs. Unfortunately, I scarcely have time to do some programming these days. I wonder if your project will include a lrs-->lrf parser or whether it will generate lrfs directly... |

I use Falstaff's pylrs backend to generate the LRF files. It is not (as far as I know) capable of direct LRS->LRF conversion. I would urge you to either look into using it in your own code or consider merging our projects, that way the work each of us has to do is reduced.

I've uploaded the converter in libprs500-0.3.13
It's the command html2lrf Note if you only want to try the the converter then you don't need to worry about satisfying any of libprs500's dependencies except python 2.5 |

txt2lrf not working, needs makelrf module
Quote:
I just got this installed on my Debian machine (had to snag the python2.5 debs from the ubuntu fiesty fawn dist for now, but they work) html2lrf works, (a bow, and many thanks). When I tried to run txt2lrf python complained that it couldn't find the makelrf module. I checked the sources and it doesn't seem to be in there. Googling for makelrf.py shows that it used to be in the src/libprs500/lrf/ directory: https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/changeset/222 Hmm.. what am I doing? I'm just gonna go file a bug, like a sane person. |
