Hi, Thanks for your work. I am trying to translate the tutorial into Chinese. Could you please tell me what is inkscape in build_ebook.py？I am using Windows system.

I have install Inkscape from https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-0.92.3/windows/64-bit/exe/dl/. It looks something wrong.

I have also install pandoc from https://pandoc.org/. Is that right? Thanks for you help.

Cool to hear that you're translating the tutorial :)

Inkscape is a dependency to convert the SVG images into PNGs so that they can be properly embedded into the ebooks. I've never built the tutorial on Windows, but installing those two programs should do the trick, yes.

I installed the latest version of the Inkscape and the problem was solved. In windows system, MiKTeX should be installed (https://miktex.org/download). Otherwise, pandoc will report can not found pdf-engining problem.
