Bookmarks/Annotation import and epubcfi
Hello!
I'm currently working on a script to save all my bookmarks from a PocketBook reader to calibre database. And I'm kinda stuck on getting 100% correct `start_cfi` and `end_cfi` values. As far I understood calibre uses something different from EPUB Canonical Fragment Identifiers 1.1 as described here https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/epubcfi/ Is it intended or a bug, or my understanding of epubcfi specification is incorrect? I think I have kinda working conversion algorithm but it's a little bit arcane and I'm afraid it will silently break at some annotations, and I dont have a way to test it beforehand. |

calibre's epubcfi support was added long before that spec existed, still the basic design is similar. What's tripping you up?

for example, given this identifier "#epubcfi(/6/68!/4/2/2/152/1:160)"
Btw, looked at the code and now I'm almost sure it is correct algo. Another question is, are there any plans to support epubcfi? I think I could help with that, but I'm very new to calibre source code |

No plans. I know of no use for epubcfi() as defined in that spec.
Your source epubcfi() is from a PocketBook, I assume. What's the add extra /2 at the beginning for? And yes epubcfis() absolutely will not match if the structure of the books is different. |

So first we go to a file defined by spine_index, then /2 to "enter" that docoment, and the rest of the path is the same both in standart epubcfi and calibre cfi. |
