Structure• newspaper

• 1: front page

• 2: service page

• 3: dossiers; sections…

• 4: reading notes

• ebooks

• a long tract of text; chapters

Our solution

• A simple HTML page defines the ebook: $TOC_URL

• lists chapters’ URLs (as a list of links)<a href=“chapter1.html”>Chapter 1 title</a>

• [optionally] lists cover, stylesheets<a href=“cover.jpg”><img … /></a>

(suggestions welcome!)

• each chapter is as complex as necessary (CMS job)

• ebook machine assembles all chapters(& associated media) with a template

Convert newspaper to .epubuser-friendly CLI:

> ebook.php $TOC_URL

(or, piloted from the CMS)

> .mobi.azw3

Structure

thank you!

Same script,different $TOC_URL
