@nemica/epub v1.0.1

EPUB

epub is a command line tool for generating epub files from text and metadata files.

Installation

npm install @nemica/epub --global

Usage

epub my_booktext.txt -t "My Book"

epub my_booktext.txt -t "My Book" -o "%s-first-edition.epub

epub my_booktext.txt -m my_metadata.json

Usage hints can be found by typing epub -? or epub --help.

Text Format

As this tool is a private project, it uses a markdown-like format I've been using for my own works.

• bold: *bold*
• italics: _italics_
• strikethrough: ~~strikethrough~~
• chapter heading: #heading
• monospace/code: >monospace
• scene break: \n\n
• chapter break: \n\n\n

Multiple files will be handled as multiple chapters, but more than one chapter can be in one file.

Examples

#Foreword
This is a foreword.
It has multiple paragraphs.


#The Basics
This is the first proper chapter.
It also has multiple paragraphs.

It even has multiple scenes.

This will generate two chapters, titled Foreword and The Basics respectively.

This chapter has no heading. Make of that what you will.

This will generate a single chapter, titled Chapter 1. Chapter numbers increase automatically.
