In LibreOffice and Word, if you want multiple references to a single footnote or endnote, you create the footnote or endnote and then you add cross-references to it. I also needed to declare my use of SVG in content.opf by adding properties="svg" for the XHTML file it was in: Cross-references

Google epub checker code#
So I added the image in the Calibre editor, which called it images/image.jpeg, and added the following code near the end of the final XHTML file: I wanted the ePub to finish with the back cover image from the paperback. Then click “OK” to generate your ePub! Back cover
Google epub checker install#
I did the isolated install per the Linux download page: wget -nv -O- | sh /dev/stdin install_dir=~/calibre-bin isolated=y If you’re like me and insist on using Linux, you can run the Linux install instructions without running it as root.
Google epub checker windows#
If you have Windows or Mac, just download the latest version (5.4.2 as I write this) from Calibre and use that. (The broken version still has a functional ebook-viewer.) Unfortunately, Ubuntu 20.04 has a broken version of Calibre that can’t possibly start or work - Ubuntu pulled a development version from Debian, nobody noticed before release time that it literally didn’t work at all, and now the broken version’s stuck in place for the next five years. ePub is weird and annoying.) Getting Calibre
Google epub checker zip file#
(I’m using zip -f and not just making a zip file of the separate files because that way, the mimetype file stays both uncompressed and first in the zip file - if it isn’t, epubcheck complains. Nobody who isn’t me should expect to have to do this sort of thing, but I’m a control addict. This let me hand-tweak the files directly in vim, then add them back to the ePub using zip -f (freshen). Īt one point I unzipped the ePub into separate XHTML files. Unfortunately, Apple Books requires your book to pass epubcheck anyway, with no errors or warnings. The developer of Calibre considers epubcheck broken, which it is, and wrong about the ePub specification, which it is. There’s an online version, but I just installed the Java. If you’ve lived your life wrong enough that you’re hand-editing ePub XHTML, you should probably install epubcheck. The good news is that Calibre has a pretty good XHTML editor - right-click on book title, “Edit book”. Since this is on computers, there are some gotchas - specifically, that ePub is an absolute shower of a format, and you will be editing XHTML by hand if you want to get onto Apple Books and the other minor ebook stores. If you don’t understand any of the technical detail here, don’t worry about it - there must surely be better ways than this. (Comments suggesting using L AT EX instead will get you slapped over the Internet.) There’s almost certainly bits I could have done better some other way, and a lot of bits where I got way too deep into technical twiddling just because I could. This post is a record of what I actually did to make the ePub for Libra Shrugged. Its format converters are robust and battle-hardened. Ĭalibre is also the most common ePub generator. It comes with a nice ebook reader too, which I use all the time. Calibre is an ebook management application.
