Show HN: Asciibook – An eBook Generator for AsciiDoc

11 pointsby chloereiover 5 years ago
Asciibook is an e-book generator tool that can convert AsciiDoc to e-books in HTML&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;EPUB&#x2F;MOBI format.<p>GitBook used to be the best open source e-book generator, but they abandoned the project at the end of 2018. E-book authors either continue to use GitBook without maintenance or write their own scripts. So I came up with the idea to write a new eBook generation tool to replace GitBook.<p>Homepage: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;asciibook.org&#x2F; GitHub: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;asciibook&#x2F;asciibook<p>Features:<p>- Supports generation of HTML&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;EPUB&#x2F;MOBI.<p>- Based on the command line, distributed via docker, works well with CI&#x2F;CD.<p>- HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;JavaScript based theme system.<p>- Support latexmath.<p>For demonstrate, I generated an e-book using the source code of the &quot;Pro Git&quot;, please visit https:&#x2F;&#x2F;asciibook.org&#x2F;progit2&#x2F;.<p>This project has just been released, I will continue to optimize it. Welcome to use and provide feedback.

I like your project.<p>The fact that Gitbook is no longer maintained is a sad news for me. I don&#x27;t usually write books but I my favorite to maintain a product manuel is to use Gitbook. For example, here is a prototype for my recent project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xxz.jakehao.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xxz.jakehao.com</a><p>At a first glance Asciibook&#x27;s interface is not eye appealing as Gitbook. I hope your project can keep the momentum and hope to use it in production one day!

Looks cool, I look forward to testing it out more.<p>I noticed a bug: In the sample PDF (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;asciibook&#x2F;progit2&#x2F;releases" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;asciibook&#x2F;progit2&#x2F;releases</a>) the admonitions are not loading. Instead there are empty rectangles where the icons should be.
