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>
# 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
= 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
- download the repository of texts for this project: https://github.com/wdka-publicationSt/editorial_design/archive/master.zip
- unzip
- from all its files there choose 1 file, you'll be working on, for today
- copy it to a folder dedicated to today's class
- open in a text editor: sublime, gedit,etc
- Look at the markdown syntax
More on Markdown syntax in http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
convert this file into other formats
Using Pandoc:
- html
- docx
- mediawiki
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

Command line exercise
TO DO[2]
http://flossmanuals.net/command-line/
Pandoc - Convert from Markdown to HTML
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;-o
- option for file output
editing the HTML file
Add CSS files [3]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<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
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;
