Produce books with Plone and export them in a high quality PDF.
Project description
ftw.book
This package provides content types for creating a book which can be exported as PDF.
Features
Provides a content type “Book” which defines the root of a book.
Provides a content type “Chapter” for creating the structure of a book. Chapters are nestable.
Content is added to chapters using simplelayout blocks.
Provides an action for exporting the book or a single chapter recursively as PDF.
Provides LaTeX representations for the default simplelayout blocks.
Adds fields for injecting LaTeX code to every content type within a book using schemaextender.
Provides a “Reader” view which displays the book on one page for a enjoyable reading experience.
Provides simplalayout “Table” block for enter tabular data using a datagrid widget which generates HTML table representation which also convertable into a PDF.
Requirements
Requires ftw.simplelayout for block based content creation.
Requires ftw.file for file listings.
Requires ftw.pdfgenerator for generating PDFs.
Requires ftw.htmlblock for custom HTML tables.
Usage
Add ftw.book to your buildout configuration:
[instance]
eggs +=
ftw.book
Install the generic import profile.
Install a LaTeX distribution, see ftw.pdfgenerator install instructions.
Compatibility
Runs with Plone 4.3 and 5.1.
Development / tests
For running the full PDF generation tests ImageMagick is required for diffing the PDFs.
Since we need to re-compile the resources after each change, there is a watcher implemented started with yarn watch recompiling after each change.
Uninstall
This package provides an uninstall Generic Setup profile, however, it will not uninstall the package dependencies. Make sure to uninstall the dependencies if you no longer use them.
