# epub to html

This repo contains some sample code to convert an epub to html.

## How?

epubs are just a collection of html files. 

I unzipped the epub into a folder called "./epub" and then work from there.

I used BeautifulSoup to go through the html files and to merge them. 

I also did some structure processing to enable links to work in the single-page
html.

## Why? 

Sometimes you just need a simple single-page html to read your document in the
browser.

I realized that there is a surprising lack of tools to merge multiple html
files into one with working links.

## Upcoming plans

For now I assume that you have to manually unzip the epubs to gain access to
the internal html file directory of the epub.  I also make no assumptions on
the general structure of epubs. I just tested it on a single epub that I had.

Future work will be making the tool more user-friendly by making it a simple
binary that just takes an epub file as input.
