EeePub (Temporary Extension)

Notes & Remarks

Patch to the original gem that I need for my source2epub gem to work. This gem will be deprecated as soon as the rubyzip bug is fixed/merged by the original author. This is my temporary solution to make my gem work so that I can use the gem without the need to manually install my own fork first via Github.

I still can't find the way to make use of the original gem name in the gemspec.

EeePub

EeePub is a Ruby ePub generator.

Usage

epub = EeePub.make do
  title       'sample'
  creator     'jugyo'
  publisher   'jugyo.org'
  date        '2010-05-06'
  identifier  'http://example.com/book/foo', :scheme => 'URL'
  uid         'http://example.com/book/foo'

  files ['/path/to/foo.html', '/path/to/bar.html'] # or files [{'/path/to/foo.html' => 'dest/dir'}, {'/path/to/bar.html' => 'dest/dir'}]
  nav [
    {:label => '1. foo', :content => 'foo.html', :nav => [
      {:label => '1.1 foo-1', :content => 'foo.html#foo-1'}
    ]},
    {:label => '1. bar', :content => 'bar.html'}
  ]
end
epub.save('sample.epub')
