Tools for hybrid publishing

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


Hands-on exploration of strategies and tools

plain text files

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

Are edited using plain text editors and NOT word processors.

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

Markings are done using special (meta)characters

Historical examples of plain text file undeground publishing

Markups languages

Markups languages are ways of marking text, giving with words specific hierarchical and visual rendering.

By marking the text according to markup languages it is possible to:

  • add reading aids, such bold, italic, blockquotes
  • add a clear text hierarchy: section titles, sub-section titles, sub-sub-sub section titles
  • convert between different markup languages - as they mostly compatible


Markup languages examples

Each markup uses a different markings

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>

Markdown: [1]

# 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


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


Hands on

Pandoc - a markup converter

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

But it runs on the command line.


Command Line or Shell

  • a text-based interface to your computer's file system
  • popularized before the period of personal computers,
    • when computers where shared (time-sharing) by many users
    • accessed by a dumb terminal (screen and keyboard interface to the main computer) File:Dumbterminal.jpg
  • centeral to UNIX and descendant operating systems: Linux, Mac
  • constituted by small programs that do one thing only and well

pandoc --from markdown --to html5 --standalone input.mw -o output.html
  • --from - option standing for “from”, is followed by the input format;
  • --to - option standing for “to”, is followed by the output format;
  • --standalone - option standing for “standalone”, produces output with an appropriate header and footer;

<html>

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>

<body>
  <h1>my html file</h1>
</body>
</html>

Pandoc - converting to ICML

TO DO[4]


pandoc --from markdown --to icml input.html --output=ouput.icml


Pandoc - converting to ePub

Simple:

pandoc --from html --to epub3 input.html --output=mybook.epub

Advanced (including stylesheet, cover image, chapter level ):

pandoc --from html --to epub3 input.html --output=mybook.epub --epub-stylesheet=styles.css --epub-cover-image=cover.jpg --epub-chapter-level=1
  • --epub-stylesheet - CSS file that will style the Epub
  • --epub-cover-image - cover file - can either be .jpg or .png
  • --epub-chapter-level - at what heading level will the chapter brakes occur


Importing ICML to inDesign

inDesign: designing with styles

ASSIGNMENT

For May 27: Choose 1 publication you want to work in. From the 3 possible publications (https://github.com/wdka-publicationSt/editorial_design/archive/master.zip)

Using at least 1 file from the chosen one

  • convert it to: an HTML file & an ICML file
  • use CSS to make different sketches for the digital (html) identity of this book
  • use inDesign style to create different sketches of the paper identity of this book

This will be the starting points for the publication you will do in quarter 8.

Bring these sketches to next class, on May 27;
