Booktype

--------



Booktype makes it easier and quicker for authors, companies and organisations to edit and publish books. It imports DOCX or EPUB files, converts them into single-source HTML for online editing and proofreading, and uses CSS Paged Media to produce good-looking output for print, the open web, and almost any ebook reader, in seconds. Booktype facilitates collaborative, agile production across time zones and borders.



Booktype is built on the [Django](https://github.com/django/django) web framework and many great [Python libraries](https://github.com/booktype/Booktype/tree/master/requirements).



The Booktype user interface is being [translated into many languages](https://www.transifex.com/sourcefabric/booktype) by our [community of contributors](https://github.com/booktype/Booktype/blob/master/AUTHORS.txt). Your help with development or translation is always welcome!

Testing

-----------------



Booktype uses the [py.test](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/) testing framework with the [pytest-django](https://pytest-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) plugin. It makes the testing process easier, and also provides the ability to run ready-made django (unittest) tests.



To run tests:



1. Open a terminal and activate the virtual environment (Booktype must be installed).

2. Go to (cd command) instance root (folder with manage.py and pytest.ini file).

3. Run the **py.test** command. 

4. If you want pytest to print test coverage information, you should run **py.test --cov-report term-missing --cov=path/to/Booktype**. 

You can read more about coverage here: [pytest-cov](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-cov)
