HAMLET To be, or not to be: that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arm against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them. Also be aware of stage directions, which should ideally be formatted differently (i.e., bracketed in square brackets, which is what I'd do with plain text, or italicized). Someone asked about widowing: that's something that has to be done by the display device (i.e, the Sony Reader), not the book formatter, unless there's some kind of style information for each book that includes the option of turning on and off widow and orphan support (I haven't seen the BBeB format raw yet, so I don't know if the Sony Reader has such style information). |

Ok, I've tried this on a text file.
The program shows that it is making a TOC but when you make the .lrf there is no TOC on the reader. Is there something that I'm doing wrong or is TOC just not functional yet? |

Looks promising. Is it right that the bolded letters don't show up in the lrf? Also, what is the reason that you can set the color of the font?
Anyway, keep up the good work and I follow this thread very close. |

Just to let you know that a 1.6Beta version of BBeB Binder can be found at my site (link below). It does require that the original version is installed first.
To use, backup the original BBeB Binder folder, and then overwrite the original files with the contents of the zip file. This version is an unsupported beta version that includes a heap of changes/fixes including image support. Feedback is much appreciated. Cheers Andy Grab it from here |

Thanks AndyQ and cmumford, this is coming along really nicely - been following the subversion changes closely. Let us know when you want feedback on formatting issues.

Wow! The new version is way better. I like the margins this way. But I have a question; when I open a HTM(converted from a .DOC) with BBeBinder it will show all Bolds, sizes etc. etc.,so all formatting is there. But when I save it as a .lrf all this formatting is gone. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the hard work! |

This may help with Gutenberg conversions, I used it for testing when developing gutlrf.pl
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/19130 It has centralised images, headers and text and quite a lot of different markup. Which currently BBeBinder isn't formatting. |

First off things that are italicized with <i></i>, and bolded with <b></b> should work just fine. We don't yet support CSS or spans for doing these things. So it looks like all of the italic was translated into LRF, but only some of the bolding. For example the words "The Pulse" after chapter 1 are actually set by applying a CSS style. Unfortunately we ignore this and that is why "The Pulse" is just plain old text. Also, in the first few chapters the words "small treasure(s)" are bold. This is converted, but only as a font weight of 150%, which is pretty subtle with the Sony Reader. I really haven't had the time to look into CSS yet, and can't really say what our plan is for this just yet. We may get lucky and come with a good solution. (I hope). Sorry I can't get you a better answer for now, but thanks for giving it a try and providing the input. |
