PressBooks

PressBooks is a book content management system which exports in multiple formats: ebooks, webbooks, print-ready PDF, and various XML flavours. PressBooks is built on top of WordPress Multisite, and makes significant changes to:

• admin interface (customized for books and other structured documents, such as magazines, journals, reports, etc.);
• web presentation layer (again, customized for books and structured documents); and
• export routines.

PressBooks is free software, released under the GPL v.2.0 license.

Our web/ebook and PDF exports are all driven by HTML+CSS. XML outputs have no styling.

Important!

• Do NOT use PressBooks with an existing WordPress site.
• Please use with a FRESH install of WP MULTISITE.
• If this makes you nervous, please use our free site: PressBooks, or contact us.
