5 years ago Hi This project is a bit outdated now and is not being actively maintained. It runs off LaTeX 2012 and Python 2. It was also created for a specific xml format that was developed for Siyavula Education. So to get it working you would likely need the following:
- LaTeX 2012 installed
- Python 2 running
- All files must end with .cnxmlplus for the script to find them
The file https://github.com/Siyavula/bookbuilder/blob/master/LibBookbuilder/chapter.py handles most of the conversion functions for this project. The code that actually parses the html is installed by the requirements file but you can access that repository directly: https://github.com/Siyavula/cnxml-validator. This repo contains the spec that we use for the cnxmlplus format. Most likely though for the use case you are looking at you would need to use this repo and the cnxml-validator as ideas to get you started in building your own setup.
Hello, I followed the instructions on Readme file and installed the bookbuilder. When I type a command and run:
bookbuilder build texinside the "example-repo" directory. I see two directories created: "build" and "images". Inside the tex directory, there is a tex file but it is empty. I wonder what I am doing wrong.
