Newbie questions on using ReST
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
What's a good output format to use for transcribed line graphs? Should I use Gnuplot syntax, or is there some other format that would be preferred? Regards, Joseph Koshy
Not sure what a "transcribed line graph" is, but the simplest way to handle any graphic is to treat it as an illustration.

Hi, I deal with a large number of books that include simple diagrammatic illustrations. I almost always include those as (.png, often 4 or 8 gray's only) images. Theoretically, you could also include such images as SVG (vector graphics), but creating those would be considerably more work -- even though the end result could be great. How to create SVG is up to you, you can use Inkscape, or Metapost, to name just a few options. Other formats are far less widely supported, often cannot be included in a HTML file, and thus less desirable. You could still include the sources you use to create SVG with your submission to PG.

Greetings, What is a good way to avoid collisions between the CSS rules in an HTML submission and those added by Gutenberg's eBook generation tools? Do we have a recommended style sheet for use with HTML submissions? Thanks, Joseph Koshy
