The purpose of this repo is to generate a single all-encompassing HTML file from
the collection of poems found in the content directory.
The project is also pushed to Github Pages which allows you to view these files on the web. You can find the ebook and html versions of the book in the following links:
HTML: http://noj.cc/alight/index.html
EBOOK: http://noj.cc/alight/index.mobi
You will need Ruby 1.9.3 or higher to be able to run this script. You can run the generator by running the following command:
$> ./bin/compose.rbThis will generate three files, index.html, index.mobi, and manifest.txt
in the root directory of the repo.
The script first makes sure that you have the Nokogiri gem installed, and if you don't, it installs it for you. If this step fails, the script will exit. At this point you'll have to install the gem yourself and then come back to the script.
After the dependency check, the compose.rb script will read the
content/FrontMatter.html file and create an internal Nokogiri HTML doc object
from it. This file is used as our basis for building the final index.html
file. All <a> tags are read and their href attributes are collected.
We then resolve all the href attributes by reading the links to their
corresponding files and including the contents of their <body> into the
internal document that we're building.
Finally, we output the internal doc as index.html. We then run the
appropriate kindlegen binary for the system to generate the index.mobi ebook
out of the file.
