Post New Requests Here / Re: Book synopsis template

Have you considered using some existing free webapp for this instead?

Edit: For example this template but add an "owner" column and whatever other columns you need.

Thanks for this, I'll look into it.

Update: Seems like everything has to be stored in the cloud - I'm hosting this locally available on a VPN.

Post New Requests Here / Book synopsis template
« on: October 12, 2019, 10:59 PM »
I'm writing my own book library for family members, and this is the code for each entry, using dummy data:

<section class="container">

  <p class="txt--center font-bold--200">_Character_Name  Series</p>

  <article>

    <div>

      <h2 id="silent-heroes">01 Silent Heroes</h2>

      <a href="one/two/silent-heroes.epub"><img src="silent-heroes" alt="book-cover" height="200" /></a>

      <p>[SYNOPSIS GOES HERE] <a class="read-book-link--maroon" href="one/two/silent-heroes.epub">Read the book!</a></p>

    </div>

  </article>

</section>

  // Repeat <div> as required //

Each author in this library has one page, headed with their name and photo. This page will have all their books listed under character-name headings, with this code above used for each book in that series.

I see the ID would be the determining factor in making sure the data is entered for the correct book.

There is other code, but that's for page layout.

After going through this over 200 times so far, and with, oh ... only about another 5,000 more, I'm thinking there has to be a better way than manually authoring the web page. Some CSS image galleries have a gui for entering the appropriate information, which then inserts that data in the relevant places in the HTML.

I don't know how to do this, but would javascript be a good option to do this from a list? ( I don't know javascript, btw.) Or could someone tell me what's involved for some other method?

This creates BATch files and adds the new context menu items “Convert to ZIP” and “Convert to Folder”. It allows you to easily convert a ZIP file to a FOLDER or a FOLDER to a ZIP file. It uses the command-line version of 7zip for the conversion.

However, to avoid 117-line strings, you could always disable wordwrap in your text editor!  hahahaaa

Imaginative transfer of a vertical problem to a horizontal one. :)

Also could be used for any external link images.

I tried the program using an image 307KB jpg at 1600x1067. The resulting code was 117 lines long (word-wrapped) at fullscreen on a 19" monitor. I do a lot of archival image galleries, with about 30 images per gallery and this would generate a humungous html file. So whether the loading time difference would be significantly less is uncertain. This would be on a local machine, as the galleries are not served to a website. Also encoding time would be significantly increased. I like the idea, but perhaps image galleries are not a practical use for this program. :)

Just a comment
