That's what I figured. I was hoping to make one myself, but I have no experience with coding. I tried reading the "Writing your own plugins to extend calibre’s functionality" manual on the Calibre website, but it all goes over my head. I couldn't find a easy tutorial anywhere? If you know of any, it would be appreciated. Or, is it impossible to explain in an "easy" way? Thanks! Rei

IMO, the best approach is to find an existing plugin that does something similar and look at the code for that. There are several metadata plugins that scrape websites.

I don't use any metadata plugins. I believe most of them scrape a site somewhere. I'll start with a newer one.
All Calibre plugins are written in python. Open the plugin zip to see the source. How hard is python to learn? It's very subjective. I learned python working on plugins. But I already knew a half dozen other languages. And proper pythoners seem to hate my code. |

Divide the text into paragraphs of four lines each
For the convenience of the device, I would like to implement such a function. When converting text to an epub book, divide the text into paragraphs of four lines each.
If the end of the sentence (the dot sign) does not occur in the fourth line, then the division into a new paragraph should be done at the time the point is found. Believe me, this way you can increase the speed of reading any text several times (tested), but manually doing such a procedure with a large text takes a very long time. |

Go ahead. Though it would be interesting to see how you compensate for font size and screen width since that will impact the amount of text per line. Remember that epub like any reflowable format does not have a defined page size, font size, line spacing, etc.
BTW, A quick search seemed to find no real evidence for your claim. Some seem to support it, others seem to find that it has from no substantive impact to actually having a negative impact. |
