A Digital Writers Style Guide for Dynamic Publishing

Wed, 03/30/2016 - 14:56 -- rprice

The trick is to use the rem unit introduced in CSS3, which refers to the root element size. In mPDF, 1rem is equivalent to the font size of the HTML body element. All other elements which appear as blocks in the columns, such as headings, subheadings, and info boxes, need to have a vertical size which adds up to an exact multiple of the body text or its line-height. Using rem makes the calculation easier, and also means that changes to body text size will scale other elements proportionally.

Making an ePub book from LaTeX

Wed, 12/17/2014 - 12:59 -- rprice

TeX and LaTeX are well suited to producing electronically publishable documents. What is likely to be a continuing need is to translate LaTeX documents into standard electronic book format, notably ePub, which is the format adopted by most electronic reader publishers except the biggest one (you know who). 1  What is ePub? You don't really want to know what the ePub standard is. And you are not going to find out much here. In short, though, an ePub book is a XHTML1 version of the book packaged together with its figures and other resources into a zip file.
