Importing .htm file and associated folder

phossler · 05-18-2018, 09:33 PM

I saved a web page as "Web page, complete"

I ended with a .htm file and a folder by the same name. The folder has the css, js, gif, jpg, etc. files referenced by the htm

When I just Added the hm to my Calibre library, I got a ZIP file with every thing in it

My goal was to get a epub with the images and the htm text so that I could edit it

Is there a more right way to add the file and folder to end up with an editable epub?

You need to do a conversion. But, there is an option to automatically convert the book when adding it.

@phossler - the editor has an option to import HTML in its File Menu, not sure if it will suck in the css, jpegs, etc.

Thanks - that seems to work OK

I got lost when I saw that it was a ZIP and didn't realize that Calibre was smart enough to figure out all the pieces and convert it
