DESCRIPTION:

a generic EPUB parser/generator library.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • GEPUB::Book provides functionality to create EPUB files and parse EPUB files

  • Handle every metadata in EPUB2/EPUB3.

  • See issues for known problems.

If you are using GEPUB::Builder and do not like its behavior (e.g., GEPUB::Builder evaluates the block as inside the Builder instance), consider using GEPUB::Book directly.

SYNOPSIS:

Example

require 'rubygems'
require 'gepub'

book = GEPUB::Book.new
book.primary_identifier('http://example.jp/bookid_in_url', 'BookID', 'URL')
book.language = 'ja'

book.add_title 'GEPUBサンプル文書', 
               title_type: GEPUB::TITLE_TYPE::MAIN,
               lang: 'ja',
               file_as: 'GEPUB Sample Book',
               display_seq: 1,
               alternates: {
                       'en' => 'GEPUB Sample Book (Japanese)',
                       'el' => 'GEPUB δείγμα (Ιαπωνικά)',
                       'th' => 'GEPUB ตัวอย่าง (ญี่ปุ่น)' }

# you can do the same thing using method chain
book.add_title('これはあくまでサンプルです', title_type: GEPUB::TITLE_TYPE::SUBTITLE).display_seq(1).add_alternates('en' => 'this book is just a sample.')

# use arguments
book.add_creator '小嶋智', 
                 display_seq:1, 
                 alternates: { 'en' => 'KOJIMA Satoshi' } 
book.add_contributor '電書部',
                     display_seq: 1,
                     alternates: {'en' => 'Denshobu'}
book.add_contributor 'アサガヤデンショ',
                     display_seq: 2, 
                     alternates: {'en' => 'Asagaya Densho'}
# you can also use method chain
book.add_contributor('湘南電書鼎談').display_seq(3).add_alternates('en' => 'Shonan Densho Teidan')
book.add_contributor('電子雑誌トルタル').display_seq(4).add_alternates('en' => 'eMagazine Torutaru')
