Menghasilkan eBook Sendiri Berformat ePUB Dengan LibreOffice
ePUB (Electronik Publication - ext .epub) ialah format open ebook standard yang diiktiraf oleh International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Format ini telah direka supaya teks kandungan yang dipamerkan boleh dioptimizekan untuk device pembaca tertentu. ePUB ini mempunyai beberapa ciri antaranya;
- Free and open
- Re-flowable (word wrap) and re-sizable text
- Inline raster and vector images
- Embedded metadata
- DRM support
- CSS styling
- Support for alternative renditions in the same file
- Use of out-of-line and inline XML islands to extend the functionality of EPUB
Ubuntu didatangkan bersama LibreOffice, perisian pejabat sumber terbuka yang projeknya berjalan dengan jatuhnya (atau terpulaunya) OpenOffice.org. Pada ketika anda menyangka LibreOffice jauh terkebelakang dalam sepak-terajang kepesatan pecutan teknologi, saya mendapati terdapat satu extension yang dapat menukar format dokumen LibreOffice ke ePUB, yang pada saya sesuatu yang menarik untuk dicuba dan diterka kebarangkalian pengaplikasiannya.
Extension writer2epub untuk LibreOffice.
Extension writer2epub ini bersaiz kurang dari 200kb dan ianya masih lagi dihostkan di laman web extension bagi OpenOffice.org. Ianya boleh dimuatturun melalui link berikut;
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/Writer2ePub
Cara memasang ke LibreOffice (dalam ubuntu)
1. Muatturun fail di atas (berformat .oxt)
2. Buka fail berkenaan menggunakan LibreOffice dan kemudian ikuti prosedur pemasangan yang dianjurkan (ianya straight-forward)
3. Siap proses pemasangan, restart LibreOffice dan anda akan mendapati terdapat 3 butang pada sisi kiri LibreOffice anda. Butang-butang tersebut ialah;
writer2epub : klik untuk convert ke ePUB
metadata : memasukkan metadata dokumen (pengarang, tajuk, kaver etc)
preferences : untuk mengubah fonts, headings, etc.
Saya sempat bermain main dengan extension ini dalam ubuntu 11.10 dan sempat menukarkan satu dokumen percubaan kepada ePUB. Percubaan saya tidak terhenti di situ, saya telah membuka ePUB yang terhasil menggunakan ePUB Reader dalam peranti Android dan hasilnya adalah seperti di bawah;

Writer2ePub
by Luca "Luke" Calcinai
Writer2ePub is an OpenOffice.org extension that creates an ePub file from any document openable by the OOo Word Processor.
Just simply one click, you can obtain a well formatted, easy readable ePub file from almost any document.
What is Writer2ePub?
W2E is an ePub creator. Simply write your document with the OOo Word Processor and W2E will make an ePub file using the best traditional typographic rules, by applying a predefined style sheet (CSS). If you need a good ePub document and you can use the OOo Writer Word Processor, W2E is your tool.
What Writer2ePub is not?
W2E is not a simple file converter. It does not just convert an existing document to ePub. If you need to obtain a pure wysiwyg ePub file, W2E is not for you. Please look at [URL="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166"]Calibre[/URL] or other OOo extensions available on the Internet to do this kind of jobs.
Neither is W2E an ePub editor, please look at [URL="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=203"]Sigil[/URL] or other similar product if you need to edit and modify an existing ePub.
Who can use Writer2ePub?
W2E is intended for occasional users and professional use. The occasional user can create an high quality epub without worrying about the source document quality, while professional can create an easy editable, well structured and valid ePub file.
Installation
Just double click on the dowloaded file, it will install or replace the old W2E version.
Otherwise, please open the Extension Manager from the Tools menu and add the extension from there.
Once installed, on opening a new writer document you will find a small toolbar with three green icons.
Use
Simply press the first icon, and an ePub will be created in the same folder of the original file.
The icon with the blue mark is useful to add or edit the metadata information (title, author and so on).
The last icon with the red mark is to modify the preference. In a normal use you don't need to modify these settings.
Disclaimer:
Writer2ePub is a software tool written by non-professional programmers.
The author and all the collaborators are not responsible in any way for direct or indirect damages caused by W2E to your data, your software, your hard disk, your computer, your person, your home, your town, your country, your planet or your universe.
Please use it carefully and at your own risk!
