HTMLBook Backends

This repo holds the backend templates for converting .asciidoc files into .html files in the htmlbook flavor. The repo ships with 2 backends:

• htmlbook - a set of templates that can be used directly with the asciidoctor gem. This is a direct source conversion
• htmlbook-autogen - a set of templates that can only be used with the orm_asciidoctor gem. This provides some autogeneration abilities.

One-time Conversion of Books

In this folder there's a script that helps you convert book files written in asciidoc into htmlbook. Before you run it, it assumes you have installed the asciidoctor gem.

Convert a book by running the script like this:

$ ruby scripts/convert_folder PATH_TO_BOOK_REPO

So If my book repo exists in /Documents/MyBook, you would do the following:

$ ruby scripts/convert_book.rb /Documents/MyBook

Use Jinja2 to merge in metadata

The 'machine' directory contains a python script that will read a gitenberg yaml file and merge it with a template file using the Jinja2 template engine. A hook for this has been inserted into the htmlbook-autogen conversion. Assumes installation of ./machine/requirements.txt

run the command like this:

$ python ./gitberg-machine/machine.py -m /Documents/MyBook/metadata.yaml /Documents/MyBook/book.html
