This is really excellent Marcello - are there plans to have the HTML versions incorporate images? If there's interest in adding other formats I'd be glad to assist. -Matt On Nov 6, 2005, at 11:30 AM, Marcello Perathoner wrote:
The first experimental PG plucker server is up. The goal is to convert ebooks to the plucker format on-the-fly. Plucker: see: www.plkr.org
Find the no. of the ebook you want and then call this url:
http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/plucker/17000.plucker
(replace 17000 with the ebook no.)
Building the file may take some time when the servers are busy. But the second download should come much faster, out of the cache.
If something awful happens, like if no suitable source file was found, you should get an error page.
The source file will be HTML if available, else TXT. TXT files are parsed by a custom plucker parser, which works well enough on modern files but gets worse when applied to older ones.
