Newbie questions on using ReST
by Joseph Koshy 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

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

Help needed in keeping the modified dates in FileZilla for PG-errata
by Rick Tonsing 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

I've been told that some PG-errata users are able to retain the modified date in FileZilla in Windows OS. How does someone do that? I've noticed that the created and accessed dates are blank on the PG book files I've looked at so far. For all of the files downloaded with FileZilla, Windows sets all three dates to the now date and time. Cheers, Rick
