开源软件名称（OpenSource Name）：jfogarty/latex-nonfiction-ebook-template开源软件地址(OpenSource Url)：https://github.com/jfogarty/latex-nonfiction-ebook-template开源编程语言(OpenSource Language)：TeX 97.8%开源软件介绍(OpenSource Introduction)：LaTeX Nonfiction Book/eBook TemplateThis is a template for creating the various formats of a technical non-fiction
book using content written in LaTeX. Modern books need to be formatted for
printing, as PDFs, as websites, and as eBooks (for Apple iBooks, KOBO, Amazon
Kindle and other electronic publishers). This template provides a model for
creating all of these versions, using the same LaTeX source files. You will
need to annotate your LaTeX files using commands supplied in the Note that these tools are specifically for use by independent self-publishers or small publishers, and not for authors who are using one of the big four publishers. Larger publishers have their own requirements for book formatting that are entirely different than these. This is the print version from book.tex as a PDF This is the eBook version from eBook.tex as PDF This template is for a fully publishable book, rather than a toy example, so it contains:
Many of these sections are optional, and there are variations to the formatting when eBooks are generated. To use this project you'll need to have some familiarity with LaTeX. To be really successful, you'll need to become comfortable editing and creating new commands, but this should give you a big head start. Structure

BuildingYou can run the provided script: This will build all versions of the book to subdirectories. You can build individual variants using options described in the utilities section. You should run this daily while writing to avoid having subtle problems in your text that creates errors in some formats and not others. Its much easier to debug a document incrementally than to try to do it after you have many conflicting issues in it. While working on a book, I usually just build from within TeXstudio, but since there are a number of steps, its easy to leave one out and get an improperly formatted book (incomplete or incorrext index, missing bibliographic references, bad table of contents, etc.) Paperback Book CoverCreatespace allows you to create a quickie cover using their on-line tool,
but these are not terribly professional looking and cannot be used with
other printers.
I use my
Github latex-createspace-bookcover
project. The best way to get this is to run When you build the book PDF with BookParameters.tex ValuesYou will need to manually edit these values, but rarely.
Important Command MacrosThe various versions of your book are controlled by \Boolean
parameters specified in the root of You need to assist this by using command macros that adapt to the version.
These are located in Boolean ParametersThese \Boolean parameters are in the top section of your root
LaTeX files
ImagesYour image files should be referenced with the \Image or \IMAGE command forms. \Image[options]{filebase}The [options] are just passed to \includegraphics. {filebase} is the filename without the extension. You should create a {filebase}_BW.jpg or .png variation for every image rather than sending color images to your printer. You don't need to specify the file type, but it must be be jpg or png to be compatible with all eBook forms. Do not use gif, svg or multi-media image formats, or you'll get nasty surprises depending on the format you are using. \IMAGE[options]{filename}Like \Image, but the exact filename is provided. All image files must be in the Nomenclature and AbbreviationsTechnical books will usually define or use a number of terms and
abbreviations. Use the When an abbreviation contains non alphabetic characters, or already exists as a LaTeX command, you'll need to use the alternate * form. I've include a couple of example macros for defining AI and Neuroscience terms, but you'll need to make equivalent ones that a applicable to your topics. The \PrintAcronyms command must be edited to format this appendix. IndexingIndexing is usually a tedious process, but you can assist this by using semantic macros in your text. These insert the appropriate \Ix macros as needed. When you have a specific item in your text to index that doesn't fit into one of the semantic macros, you should either add an appropriate semantic macro, or use one of the following inline in your text. \Index{text to index}
\Inx{text to index and display}
\PInx{category name}{text to display and index}
\PInx[text to index]{category name}{text to display} \Index will just add an index entry but otherwise does nothing. The second \Ix form both typesets the text and adds it to the index under a specific category name. The third form both displays and indexes the text, but allows you to index by a name different that than displayed. This is most useful when you have variant forms of the text that should all be indexed to the same entry such as nicknames, abbreviations, etc. Note that the \PersonName index command is special in that if the name is in the form Book FormatsThe book formats are:
Format: Print on Demand GrayscaleThe Print on Demand Grayscale format has exact images of every page that will be between the covers of your book. Where hyperlinks were used in your book, reasonable accomodations for the printed version need to be made. This format is based on the Format: Distribution PDFA distribution PDF should not be confused with an eBook format, although they can be hosted on most eReaders. A PDF renders the actual page formatting of the print version of the book including headers, footers, page numbers, and so-on. An eBook uses flow layouts to reformat the text for the geometry of the reader and are better suited to a wide range of devices including smart phones and tablets. Format: ASCII Plain Text Draft and Publishers DataThe ASCII text draft format is what Quality Books damands for you to obtain a Publisher's Cataloging-in-Publication Data section for placement on your copyright page. All libraries, and most bookstores and textbook stores require this information. You should go to Quality Books Publisher's Cataloging-in-Publication to get started with this. You'll need to send them $100 and the text draft of your book. Don't do this until you have the book at least half done in order to get a meaningful and complete classification. Format: ePub ebook (Applie iBooks, KOBO, Barnes and Noble)The .epub is the most complicated format since it includes many different hyperlinks, and while largely derived from html, does not have all the flexibility of a set of web pages. The LaTeX is converted to html for eBooks, by the aptly named tex4ebook program which is included with the TexLive 2016 distribution. You must manually edit the \Preamble{xhtml}
\Configure{CoverMimeType}{image/jpeg}
\CoverMetadata{images/ebookcover.jpg}
\Configure{OpfScheme}{uuid}
\Configure{UniqueIdentifier}{92cb3522-cf8b-4f58-b066-6aee78b2bee4}
\Configure{OpfMetadata}{\EndP\HCode{<dc:subject>Non-Fiction</dc:subject>}}
\Configure{OpfMetadata}{\EndP\HCode{<dc:subject>Science</dc:subject>}}
\Configure{OpfMetadata}{\EndP
\HCode{<dc:description>}
<div><h3>Book Description</h3>[your HTML description of your book]</div>
\HCode{</dc:description>}}
\begin{document}
\EndPreambleSome useful links: ePub Secrets, Authorship Tag Note that there will be problems with your epub file and you will need to edit it with a good editor such as the Calibre eBook editor which you should have installed. There are almost always some issues of metadata and table of content links which you will need to manually resolve using the editor. Sorry, but that's how it is at this point. Format: mobi eBook (Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing)Generates an .epub and converts it to a .mobi. The generated .mobi is just useful as a draft, since you will need to edit the .epub file with a good ePub editor such as Calibre which can then be used to generate the .mobi. The TOMOBI parameter is set before generation. It's important to use this, since Kindles provide less flexibility in font display, as well as other characteristics, so subtle variations in content are required to get the best results. Calibre can also be used to generate Kindle only AZW3 formatted books, which are essentially just highly compressed versions of mobi with DRM. Format: Html Single Page WebsiteThe single page website is also the most convenient way to do a quick evaluation of your eBook formatting. Open the eBook.html in your browser and look especially carefully at equations, images, table of content and index references. Validate all of the hyperlinks. To copy the Html site to a webserver, you will need to copy the ./images directory, eBook.html, eBook.css, and all eBook*.png files. ISBN NumbersYou should have ISBN numbers for each verson of your book. In the United States these must be either purchased directly from Bowker at MyIdentifiers.com. I recommend buying a block of 10 ISBNs for $250. Alternatively, you can get a 'free' ISBN from CreateSpace if you are publishing your print version ony with them. There are issues with doing this, that may make it difficult to use other printers, but you may decide to save the bucks. Once you have your ISBNs, modify the Utility Programs
