Tools for hybrid publishing

open source, simple tools that work in combination, forming publishing pipelines


Hands-on exploration of strategies and tools

Markups

"In electronic processing of texts, this hierarchical ordering [...] as well as additional reading aids such bold or italic text, is made possible by using specific formatting codes. This process is called markup and the codes are called markup element"[1]

plain text files

Are only constituted by text. No images, no visual markings.

Are edited using plain text editors and NOT word processors.

Can displayed using the terminal cat myfile.txt will print the content of myfile.txt

Markings are done using (special characters)


Different Markup languages

Each markup uses a different marking syntax

HTML:

<h1>Revenge of the Text</h1>
 <p>There is a room in the <strong>Musée d’Orsay</strong> that I call the <em>room of possibilities</em>.</p>
 <p>That room contains:</p>
 <ul>
  <li>a snow flake</li>
  <li>the end of a cloud</li>
  <li>a bit of nothing</li>
 </ul>

Wiki markup:

= Revenge of the Text =
There is a room in the '''Musée d’Orsay''' that I call the ''room of possibilities''.

That room contains:
* a snow flake
* the end of a cloud
* a bit of nothing

Markdown:

# Revenge of the Text
There is a room in the **Musée d’Orsay** that I call the *room of possibilities*.

That room contains:
* a snow flake
* the end of a cloud
* a bit of nothing


Do

Create one plain-text file

Using either in HTML or Wiki syntax.

You can:

Save it dedicated folder.


turn this file into into other formats

Pandoc - a markup converter 

If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife

Pandoc - converting to HTLM

command

Pandoc - converting to ePub

command

converting to single-file self-contained e-book

command ..

  • HTML - web    (options: --standalone, --css, title, etc - so they get a sense of the options)  
  • HTLM - self-contained mulimedia e-books based on single HTML files 
  • EPUB (options: --epub-stylesheet, --epub-cover, --epub-chapter-level)




Epub An editable format

Calibre's edit book function to 

  • open an epub
  • navigate structure 
  • change content, style, metadata

A complicated case.

Different approaches tried:
