Turn your Wordpress blog into a PDF eBook
fancy turning your blog into a downloadable PDF eBook? Here’s how:
You probably have a blog, or are considering to have one. Or maybe, you dream of writing a whole book but you are too lazy to do it. What about having a blog to which you’ll post at your rythm and then convert all what you’ve written to a book? Simple? Heh?
WPTeX is the tool for you!Ask any geek you know about LaTeX and TeX, and they’ll tell you: “It’s the best solution to produce hight quality and professional documents (articles, books, brochures and presentations…) but, you’ll have to learn a little bit to use it”… and time is what you don’t have, justly.
WPTeX is a small php program that you can easily install in your wordpress blog, to easily generate a TeX file, so you don’t worry about learning LaTeX!
How does this work?
When you run WPTeX, it asks you to give : the book title, a subtitle (optionnaly), the author’s name (you) and some keywords if you want to include an index in your book. Then you click on a button and WPTeX will walk through every post you’ve written, and generate a zip file for you to download.
Extract this zip file to your desktop and convert the “book.tex” file to a pdf using your favorite tool and that’s it! You’re done!
WPTeX is freely available under the GPL Licence. You can download it, share it, modify it under the terms of this licence.
