# 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.
