[Plugin] ePub3-itizer - epub3 output plugin for Sigil

[KevinH]

New Version of ePub3-itizer_v021.zip is now available in the first post of this thread.

Changes since last version:
- will now run with both "python2.7" and "python3.4" interpreters

- bug fixes for using extended guide types legally prefixed with "other." to map to a more extended vocabulary for epub:types in the nav landmarks.

Please note: When the upcoming Sigil 0.8.2 is released, the need to update the quickparser.py will go away.

Thanks,

KevinH

Hi Kevin

All good with ePub3-itizer_v021.zip as far as I can tell. The only guide prefix in my test samples is 'other.reader-start-page' though, which went through OK previously.

Regards

Jonathan

Hi, i've just come across your post and am interested in using this plugin, however i don't have a "plugin_launchers" file in the Sigil folder, is this something that should come with Sigil?

If you have a Windows machine, check out these instructions.

Also make sure you have v0.8.x of Sigil installed. No plugin support or plugin_launchers folder previous to that.

Thats what i tried and it came up with an error saying it cant find "C:\Program" so i followed the path manually but i dont have a Plugin_launchers folder

Ah i think that might be why then, thanks!

Whenever i try to run the plugin it comes up with "error: Interpreter python2.7 has no path set" i've gone to the enviromental variables and added ";C:\Python27" to both User and System variables and it still comes up with that error

I installed ActivePython 2.7 and didn't even have to set any environment variables.

What happens when you click the Auto button in the Manage Plugins dialog box?

[DiapDealer]

Yes ... the Sigil warning about the path to the python interpreter not being set is referring to the path that needs set in the Sigil Manage Plugins dialog, not the system path.

[rebek]

ah right, yeah that's worked, sorry about that, i Googled it and a few answers told me to go to the Environment path. thanks

Hi,

Just ran into an exception when using the plugin today:

Version: v021 on Sigil 0.8.2 on OpenSuSE x64
File: opf_converter.py, line 396~401

if self.title_cnt==1:
	nattr = {}
	nattr["refines"] = "#" + id
	nattr["property"] = "title-type"
outtags.append(["meta", nattr, "main"]) <-- variable nattr not initialized
return outtags

I guess the append() should be inside the if block, right?

[KevinH]

Hi,
Yes, definitely that line should be part of the if block. In my editor it appears okay but when I cat it to the screen it is obvious the indentation is wrong. There may be a tab vs space thing in the file.

Thanks for the bug report. There will be a new release today.

It pays to occasionally change the tabspace setting in your editor and look to see that everything still lines up as expected. These kind of issues can sneak in when there are multiple people working on the files, each with their own formatting preferences, or when cutting and pasting code from other windows.

[KevinH]

Hi,

It's fixed now. New version with bug fixed now uploaded. See first post in this thread.

And unfortunately I can't blame anyone but me. I mix TextWrangler, emacs, vim, and even TextEdit depending on what is open at the time. I occasionally run reindent.py to fix these mistakes and I have set emacs to replace tabs with spaces which catches most of these. That was one I missed.

Take care,

KevinH
