docx files inside the docx/folder into corresponding markdown files inside md/ folder. Source: converting the manuscript files to Markdown files You need to edit the manuscript, handed by the author, using paragraph styles in MS Word/Libre Office/Open OfficeĢ.

Yet it is important for the series of conversions that will lead to the different publication's outputs. This script will generate the following folder structure, which you'll use to store the files essentially for the creation of the EPUB. To create folder structure, which will be understood by the scripts from this repository, you need to run: In terminal change directory cd to the unzip folder.

They are like recipe book, with instructions of how to process stuff and generate other stuff from it. My proposal involves using a Makefile to automate the conversions between markups. docx files we'll try to create two outputs:Īnd we'll also try to keep a connection between the source and its outcomes. We can store commands in scripts and have them perform the same task on multiple source files, producing multiple outputs (E.G. Since computers are good at doing repetitive and boring tasks, we can take advantage from it. This same approach for converting between markups using Pandoc can be automated.

Pandoc: software for converting between markups with There is a room in the **Musée d’Orsay** that I call the *room of possibilities*. There is a room in the '''Musée d’Orsay''' that I call the ''room of possibilities''. That room contains: a snow flake the end of a cloud a bit of nothing Revenge of the Text There is a room in the Musée d’Orsay that I call the room of possibilities. Marking the text = markup Markup languages So what is a title (heading) in a format, remains a title when translated to a different format.Īn explicit structure is achieved by marking the text with structural information. How can we achieve a publishing workflow where we can go from the source (a word document, a wiki page, a webpage) to several outputs (an EPUB, a website, an animated gif, an inDesign project)?īy putting the content into an explicit structure, which can withstand those transformations.
