Hi Is there anyone working on/with EPUB in Pharo? If I remember correctly there was once the idea of an EPUB exporter for Pillar. Status/Plans? Thanks for an update Bye T.

I don't know of anything on this front. But that's still a feature we would like. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
there are plenty of converters out there for coverting hmtl/pdf files to epub, why you need a pharo solution ? On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 7:45 PM Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de> wrote:

For the same reason why Pillar supports export to LaTeX, HTML and Markdown...why not just one and use pandoc to convert it to everything? Because control and customizations. (And that's not even mentioning that some of the powers of Pharo stems from it's self-centeredness.) There's open issue for it though https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar/issues/8 On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 7:44 PM, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.alios@gmail.com> wrote:

Well I do use pandoc to convert markup to everything. Mainly because I thing that is more momentum around scholar markdown[1] and is difficult to push several light markup languages in this uncharted territory. Pandoc has support for yaml embedded (arbitrary) data. Of course having Pillar using markdown + yaml natively and export to LaTeX and HTML will be the killer feature to stop needing pandoc. Meanwhile I imagine that at some point I will use AST to hack/extend pandoc with Smalltalk, bridging these two words and having the advantages of smalltalk and scholarly markdown for scientific writing... time will tell.

Hi, This is on the todo list of Pillar but noone works on Pillar for now except for some minor issues. I think this will not be hard because the architecture of Pillar is very good for the exports and there is a lot of tests that can easily be extend for an other exporter.

Long ago, I added an EPUB exporter to Pier-Book, but it was added to Pier2. The fork off point for Pier3 happened just before the EPUB piece. I see that it is still available at: http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pier2/Pier-Book-YanniChiu.164.mcz It would have to be ported to Pier3 or Pillar, or mined for code.

We got two students working on epub for pillar but their never delivered. What we learned is that is that it was not that complex. The meta data were more a problem. The pub exporter should not work. Stef Le 13/11/15 18:44, Torsten Bergmann a écrit :
