Greetings,
Some newbie questions:
Q1: Which tool should I use to check my work, when transcribing a book to ReST?
The Project Gutenberg ReST Manual [1] mentions 'epubmaker', but I wasn't able to get this to work on a recent Ubuntu GNU/Linux machine with Python 3.
Would 'ebookmaker' [2] be a suitable replacement?
[1]: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/181 (ReST Manual)
[2]: https://github.com/gutenbergtools/ebookmaker (ebookmaker)
Q2: Do we have examples of ReST-sourced books containing complex tables?
I am looking for ways to:
- to embed tabular material inside block-quoted text and footnotes,
- to render tabular material without the horizontal lines between rows,
- to format a table caption using small caps,
- to right-justify specific sub-columns inside a left-justified column group.
Thanks,
Joseph Koshy
I have been doing PG donations using the RST format for many years and have
encountered and fixed the "Title level inconsistent:" problem MANY times
but my latest file is giving me this for no obvious reason. I'm hoping that
one of you can see what I'm missing.
My RST files all use this underline format for the headings:
============= for the title
----------------------- for h1
`````````````````````` for h2
This is consistent with what the PG footer uses and has NEVER caused
problems in the past. An example of where I've used it successfully is here:
https://dev.gutenberg.org/files/64046/
The situation where I generally get the error is if I try to add a fourth
level. I've learned not to do that.
The attached file uses exactly the same convention and fails. Works just
fine with no PG footer directive, fails with *Title level inconsistent *once
you add that directive. The TOC shows the levels I would expect to get.
I have tried removing the ``````` level underlining and that changes the
error reported (different character reported as not in list, ` instead of =)
ValueError: '=' is not in list
but it still fails. Removing the ---- as well doesn't fail but of
course you have no headings

is my latest attempt to run this. The RST file is attached.
Thanks.
