Standalone or bulk "Restructure to Sigl Norm"?

Tenome · Yesterday, 01:04 AM

I have a bunch of epubs from all over the place that I want to standardize. Is Sigil's "restructure" script able to be run by itself? I assume it's in the Github, but I dunno where. Alternatively, suggesting another way to restructure many books would be appreciated. Thanks.

The restructure code is not a "script". It's not something that could be simply copied out of Sigil's codebase and used elsewhere. It's C++ code that's intertwined with the rest of Sigil's C++ code.

Sigil's simply not geared toward the editing of bulk epubs. Calibre should be able to do this sort of thing.

Dang. Guess I'll see if Calibre can do it, though I don't like how there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off its renaming of CSS classes.

I'm pretty sure you can restructure using calibre without actually converting (which would trigger all kinds of other changes). But it's been a while since I've used Calibre. I think it (the restructure feature) was a part of Calibre's editor.
