Updated to version 0.2.0.
Big overhaul. Added a gui to allow the selection of custom style maps and custom css files. An example of a style map (as well as a sample docx and css file file it will work with) are in the samples.zip attached to the first post. More info on writing custom style maps can be found in the "Writing Style maps" section of Mammoth's README. EDIT: Also got tired of trying to keep everything compatible with Python 2 and Python 3, so this plugin is now Python 3 only. Last edited by DiapDealer; 05-31-2016 at 03:15 PM. |

Bumped to version 0.2.1.
Mostly cosmetic changes, but recommended to update to latest. |

There's a few, small spec-compliancy issues my plugin is introducing when choosing to import as an EPUB3. I hope to have this fixed in version 0.2.2

Great plugin, I used it for a pair of books and was almost perfect. There will be also and export docx?

I hadn't really thought about it, to tell the truth. I figured turning it into an epub would be the last step of a finished document. Going the other way is never going to result in the same docx document that one started with, though. Would there be any real advantage to working back and forth like that? With new "baseline" documents being created both ways (each import and export)?

It was just for curiosity, but maybe think that you recive a epub from a third part and you want to create a pdf and you need editing it in a word contest then it's usefull

If it isn't a big enough need to inspire a Sigil plugin, do note that calibre already supports DOCX as a Conversion Input/Output. So you could always use calibre to convert to DOCX.
(Granted that it could replace this plugin too, except it is nice to have an alternative that doesn't require yet more software. Still, a DOCX Export plugin doesn't seem nearly as useful, so who's going to make it? At a certain point, we are getting beyond the purview of Sigil.) |

I occasionally need to convert EPUB to something Word can open.
In most instances converting the EPUB to RTF with calibre gives me a 'better' result than converting EPUB to DOCX with calibre or Toxaris' EPUBTools. Of course my 'better' is inevitably another person's 'worst'. Sometimes, especially if the EPUB is chock full of redundant, superfluous XHTML tags, I convert to plain or markup text and import that into Word. An important factor in my 'better' is consistency, whilst the EPUB->DOCX converters are sometimes a bit better, they're often a lot worse. Eliminating the consistent idiosyncrasies of EPUB->RTF conversions is less effort overall via some simple macros. I do EPUB->RTF calibre conversions via a script. I very much doubt I would use a DOCX output plugin in Sigil. BR |

DiapDealer you don't know how much I love this plugin! I imported the romance of the three kindom and was starting editing when I find that he put all the note in a separate chapter and create all the link, 388 double link that I dont need to edit, cut and paste! Just some minor aesthetic change and was perfect.

Released version 0.2.3. Mostly cosmetic changes (PyQt5 where possible), but also integrated some upstream changes to the mammoth module. Please let me know if you run into any problems.
