Editing Hybrid publishing resources (section)

= streamlining conversions  =
This same approach for converting between markups using Pandoc can be automated.

Since computers are good at doing repetitive and boring tasks, we can take advantage from it.

We can store commands in scripts and have them perform the same task on multiple source files, producing multiple outputs (E.G. EPUB, ICML, HTML).

== Overview ==
In this process, from several .docx files we'll try to create two outputs: 
* an '''ICML''' file for inDesign
* an '''EPUB''' 

And we'll also try to keep a connection between the '''source''' and its '''outcomes'''.


== Makefile ==
My proposal involves using a Makefile to automate the conversions between markups.

They are like recipe book, with instructions of how to process stuff and generate other stuff from it.

'''Recipe Preparation '''

== Download Hybrid Publishing Resources  ==
* '''[https://github.com/wdka-publicationSt/HPR/archive/master.zip Download the zip ]''' from [https://github.com/wdka-publicationSt/HPR Hybrid Publishing Resources code repository] to your computer. 
* Move the downloaded .zip to a dedicated folder.
* Unzip 
* In terminal change directory <code>cd </code> to the unzip folder

== 0. Folder structure ==
To create folder structure, which will be understood by the scripts from this repository, you need to run:

<code>make folders</code>

This script will generate the following folder structure, which you'll use to store the files essentially for the creation of the EPUB. 
<pre>
├── docx 
├── epub 
├── icml 
├── md 
│   └── imgs 
└── scripts
