  • OrgPress These are the makefiles and scripts I use to turn org-mode manuscripts into nicely formatted HTML, PDF, Epub, and Mobi (Kindle) formats.

    Warning: these are presented as-is. They are undocumented, unwarrantied, and messy.

    Caution: contents may contain trace amounts of AWK and M4.

Why GPL? Simply this: I could have kept these scripts as my "secret sauce" for building eBooks; but I didn't. You, in turn, are free to use them to use them to generate eBooks and sell those books for piles of money; and I sincerely hope that you do. But if you make any improvements or extensions to these scripts in the process, they must be made freely available just as I've made the originals available. I think that's a fair deal.
