Structure

SOURCE

This folder holds the files used by Jekyll to create our markdown files.

Source/_includes

This folder contains the default 'common' files as well as a folder for every book you've added. You'll find two files inside every book folder; amazon.md and chapters.md.

Chapters.md is where you'll paste your manuscript.

Source/_layouts

This folder contains a folder for every book you've added, the files inside define what files to combine when creating each of our formats. The default layouts each combine the following files (in the following order) when creating our final markdown file for each format.

• amazon.md
  • Source/_includes/$BOOK-TITLE/amazon.md
    • file differs from chapters.md in that it adds Source/_includes/amazon_review.md directly after the contents of chapters.md
  • Source/_includes/magnet_tah.md
  • Source/_includes/bio.md
  • Source/_includes/bibliography.md
  • Source/_includes/license.md
• epub.md
  • Source/_includes/$BOOK-TITLE/chapters.md
  • Source/_includes/magnet_tah.md
  • Source/_includes/bio.md
  • Source/_includes/bibliography.md
  • Source/_includes/license.md
• pdf.md
  • Source/_includes/$BOOK-TITLE/chapters.md

Source/$BOOK-TITLE

This folder defines what formats to create for each book and which layouts to use for each format.

Source/images

This folder is used to hold any images, primarily I use it for book covers.

_SITE

Jekyll creates this folder every time you run the bind.sh script. Inside you'll find the 'final' markdown files for each format that were created according to the files defined in _layouts. These are the files that we'll feed into Pandoc for conversion.

BOOKS

This directory holds your finished books. Inside you'll find a folder for each book you've created, containing every format you've created for it.

PANDOC

This directory holds stuff that Pandoc needs.

Pandoc/css

This is the stylesheet used when creating epub and mobi/Amazon files.

Pandoc/templates

This directory contains the custom templates Open-Publisher uses when converting files with Pandoc.

MISC.

• bind.sh
  • A small bash script used to 'bind' your books.
• new.sh
  • A small bash script used to create the scaffolding Open-Publisher expects for new books.

  • A mostly unused script I used to calculate margins.
