PURPOSE

-------

rebookmaker - an open source (MIT-licensed) re-implementation of

Marcelo Lira’s ( @setanta ) ebookmaker.

It converts an EPUB definition inside a JSON file along with

some input HTML and image files into an .epub.

See:

* https://github.com/setanta/ebookmaker/ - does not have an explicit

  licence, which prompted this re-implementation.

* https://pypi.org/project/ebookmaker/ - GPLv3 by Project Gutenberg and

  incompatible with @setanta 's .

INSTALLATION

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

pip3 install rebookmaker

NOTES

-----

Since "ebookmaker" was taken on pypi and it is common courtesy to

change the name, I picked "rebookmaker" since it was available

on pypi and as a pun on `reboots in fiction `_

because it was a rewrite.

The issue where I requested an explicit licensing of the original

project is here:

https://github.com/setanta/ebookmaker/issues/8 but I have yet to receive a reply.

You can find some examples for valid input by perusing the code in

https://github.com/shlomif/screenplays-common and

https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage . Preparing some less

generic examples is on my TODO list.

This project aims for compatibility with setanta's project, but some functionality

may be still missing and I also added some new one.
