Anyone else have the below problem?

Attached to ticket #134 (exceeds MR rtf size limit).

This seems to happen with just about every BAEN rtf I have. I thought I'd go through and convert all of the RTF versions from the CDs to LRF tonight. Maybe I'll try the lit2lrf and see if that works.

Any recommendations on the best format to convert FROM using the libprs500 utilities? BTW, thanks for an awesome set of tools. Really appreciate it!

html is the best.

What if the html is broken into multiple pages?

For example:

Thanks for updating to 0.3.86!

Tried the change, now get a different error message (looks like I'm not importing some images)...

Anyways, I noticed that it doesn't pull meta-data from the source file like lit2lrf. I'm assuming this is because RTF doesn't contain any, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

you can check rtf metadata with the command rtf-meta. The warnings are because the python imaging library doesn't support wmf format images.

OK, thanks!

Looks like I'm having problems with rtf-meta as well.

That rtf file has no metadata, but rtf-meta shouldn't crash. Will be fixed in next release.

html2lrf will traverse the links and sort it all out for you into one nice LRF.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for some of my other stuff. I must admit though, I'm pretty pleased with the way lit2lrf has been working on the Baen products. The maps and images come out great. (Also for some strange reason Baen puts maps and TOC at the back of html versions, but not lit).

I have a bunch of html formatted stuff from reading on my old Treo and xv6700 though, and I'm looking forward to trying it on those.

kovidgoyal · 08-05-2007, 12:16 PM

All the 2lrf tools use html2lrf under the hood. The reason I say html is best is that it allows you the greatest control over the conversion process.

The following is an error message I've gotten a LOT of times.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "convert_from.py", line 94, in <module>
  File "convert_from.py", line 69, in main
  File "convert_from.py", line 50, in generate_html
libprs500.ebooks.ConversionError: unrtf failed with error code: -1073741819

It doesn't happen with each *.rtf file, but I don't think it'd be an exaggeration to say it happens with about half of them.

The version of UnRTF it shows in the command prompt is 0.19.3... is that the latest one?

What version libprs500 are you using?
