[chef] Re: Re: Chef wiki in non-PDF form?

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

Looks like there's too much formatting; Calibre and the other converters I've tried tend to choke on it.

I did find this: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-epub

I don't know if that's something someone would be able to give a trial of and see how it looks. My company uses Jira but we're on the OnDemand platform so custom plugins aren't available to us. I'm not sure if Opscode is using a self-hosted install of Confliuence or if you guys are also on OnDemand.

Looking forward to the Chef book coming out next February from ORA.

*headdesk* I didn't even think of using Calibre to convert from PDF, because I'm so used to PDFs being locked down tight. Let me give that a whirl and see how it goes.

Thanks for the nude of common sense :)

Morgan,

We don't have anything available internally (at Opscode), but Calibre is an awesome piece of software that I use all of the time for converting PDF -> epub/mobi, etc.

Thanks,

I'm looking to read up on the wiki in my spare time, but on my Nook Color (it's easier for me to read when my arthritis is acting up and I need to lay down). However, the PDF format is.... not so good for an ereader.

Is there an alternative form like EPUB or MOBI or such that I could download, or a script that I could use to generate it instead of the PDF? That would be greatly appreciated (especially as I'm trying to recover from having my eyes dilated yesterday; flowable text would work great with being able to bump up the text size).
