Writer2ePub
von 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.

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.

Confused
I'm sonewhat confused as to whether or not this is the right tool for me. In the description it says "If you need a good ePub document and you can use the OOo Writer Word Processor, W2E is your tool", but later on it also says "If you need to obtain a pure wysiwyg ePub file, W2E is not for you". Not sure what the wysiwyg refers to here. Are the files created by W2E readable on ebook readers or not? Another important question is, does this support using the Arabic Alphabet in documents?
Yes: W2E creates valid ePub
Yes: W2E creates valid ePub compatible with all eReaders.
Maybe: the RTL languages needs to be supported also in the eReader software. I will check for W2E RTL compatibility in next revisions.
Please send to me an Arabic sample text (with at least one heading 1) to writer2epub[at]gmail.com
Thanks

writer2epub converting internal hyperlinks
Hi - the function worked very well in converting my document, except that the internal hyperlinks didn't convert. In the original document, I have many internal links, mostly when there is a term that is described in detail elsewhere in the document. The hyperlinks work properly in the .odt flie, but there appears to be just the text in the epub document, no associated link.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Wrong Update message
I installed the Version 1.1.13 from this site, first it says here to be 1.1.10 but it is not, it is 1.1.13, but after installing it, I get neverending Update request in OpenOffice, showing me, that Version 1.1.14 is available.
It is not.
I can upate it in OpenOffice but I will again get only 1.1.13 AND I will get another annoying Update information.
Please fix this.

Reboot OOo after W3E install
You're right.
When you install or update an extension, you need to restart OOo, because the links of the buttons needs to be updated.
I will add it to the FAQ in my blog , thanks

When I first installed the extension with Extension Manager, after the installation finished I tried to use it. I got an error message. Then I closed OpenOffice and re-started it. The extension worked fine thereafter. Apparently, OpenOffice needs to re-load to find the necessary extension files, but after that first time.stavkove kancelarie

How do I brushed your teeth?
Plaque which is the common enemy of the teeth and gums, causing tooth decay is a sticky layer of germs. health insuranceSplashes of gums, gum disease, resulting in a short time leads to tooth loss. Teeth, inner, outer and chewing surfaces of the plaque and food residue most effective way of ridding the correct brushing teeth.
Tooth-brush with an angle of 45 into a combination of gum. Brush, being careful to keep the hair ends at the same place, move in circles. This move makes your brush with the long edge of the plaque between teeth and gums and will remove the level. Repeat on each tooth with 10-second periods of the same movement

Is it possible to customize the extension, for example to recognize custom styles rather than the default heading1?

Anyone knows a fix?
No graphics in ebook file?
Thanks for this great idea to convert ODT files to EPUB format. I tested this extension and found some issues that I'ld like to discuss here. Perhaps it's my fault, because I'm quite new to Open Office and ebooks.
(1)
I converted a Writer file with some chapters and included pictures. The text looks quite gode, but the graphics and their subtitles are completely missing. I checked the epub file and found, that the graphic files are in there, but at their position in the text the reference is missing.
(2)
The text's paragraph formatting is slightly different from the formatting I used in the Writer file. It's of course readable, but different.
If you need an example, I'ld be able to send you the original file and the epub.
Have you got any idea?
Thx,
Seeman (Chris)
Runtime error
Hi guys. I was glad to learn about this project. I have been using Atlantis Word to create EPUBs for some time but was hoping for an alternative since there are few things I don't like about the Atlantis program including the fact they don't support tables.
However, I generated a runtime error immediately upon hitting the create EPUB button for a document I had previously created from Atlantis, that contains many image files and styles. I also did another test using a document that contained just a small amount of text and was successful.
Anyway, I can't email you the ODT document that caused this error, but if there are log files that might be of use to you in troubleshooting this let me know.

How can I make chapters in the ePub document?
I just tried the extension for the first time, with a simple letter and with a Microsoft Word document that I opened in OpenOffice Writer. Both were output as good ePub documents. Now I'd like to try something more complicated. How do I create an OO.org document so that the extension puts out chapters as for a book?
Use of OOo Styles
To mark chapters, please use the styles.
By applying the style Heading 1, Heading 2 and so on, W2E will create a nested Table Of Contents.
You can check the TOC by using the OOo Navigator (under "view" menu)
Other styles recognized by W2E are:
Title for title and author of the book
Subtitle for the subtitle of the book
Quotations for quotation and poetry
Marginalia for right aligned test at the start of the chapter
Footnote for footnotes
Text body indent for non-indented text.
More detailed info will be available in the manual, as soon as I will have time available to write it.
OOo style mappings
It would be really useful to be able to configure all the styles that the extension keys on rather than being fixed Writer built-ins. Also it would be very useful to have more control over the xhtml output so that (for example) my chapter headings come out as h1../h1 instead of p class="center"../p. Maybe this could all be done with a configurable map where I can specify that a specific Writer style name maps to an xhtml tag name and an optional CSS class - sort of like this:
Writer Style Name -> tag, class
MyChapterHeading -> h1
MySubHeading -> p,subheading
MySceneBreak -> p,center
...
This could also extend to character styles so that if I have a character style named "Highlight" and I have it mapped to the CSS class "myhighlight" it would output as span class="myhighlight"../span.
In general I've been using the W2E extension to create ePub files that I then load into Sigil, where I can make sure the ToC is set up correctly and modify the generated CSS, but it's a little labour-intensive because I have to modify the CSS and xhtml to get the ToC working right. Making it more configurable like this would make the process almost automatic.
