The configuration file
======================
If you want to use Crowbook for your book, this configuration file
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
is all you'll have to add (assuming you already have the book in
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
Markdown files; if you don't, you'll also have to write a book first,
but that's besides the scope of this document).
2016-03-01 18:46:59 +01:00
The format is not very complicated. This is an example of it:
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
```yaml
# metadata
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
author: Joan Doe
title: Some book
lang: en
output.html: some_book.html
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
# list of chapters
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
- preface.md
+ chapter_1.md
+ chapter_2.md
+ chapter_3.md
+ chapter_4.md
- epilogue.md
```
Basically, it is divided in two parts:
2016-03-01 18:46:59 +01:00
* a list of options, under the form `key: value`, following YAML syntax.
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
* a list of Markdown files.
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
Lines starting with the `#` characters are comments and are discarded.
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
Configuration in an inline YAML block
---------------------------------------------
Sometimes, you only have one Markdown file and might not want to have
a separate configuration file. In this case, you can specify options
at the beginning of your Markdown file, using an inline YAML block,
separated by two lines containing only `---`:
```markdown
---
author: Joan Doe
title: Some (short) book
lang: en
output.html: some_book.html
---
# Some (short) book
The book content, formatted in Markdown.
```
This method only allows to set up options: you can't include a list of
chapters in this way, since the only "chapter" that will be included
is this Markdown file itself.
You can then use
```bash
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
crowbook -s some_book.md
```
to generate output formats from this Markdown file.
> By default (unless `input.yaml_blocks` is set to true), Crowboook
> will only read those inline blocks when it is runned with `crowbook
> --single` (or `crowbook -s`).
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
The list of files
-----------------
There are various options to include a Markdown file.
* `+ file_name.md` includes a numbered chapter.
* `- file_name.md` includes an unnumbered chapter.
* `! file_name.md` includes a chapter whose title won't be displayed
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
(except in the table of contents); this is useful for e.g. including a
copyright at the beginning or the book, or for short stories where
there is only one chapter.
* `42. file_name.md` specifies the number for a chapter.
* `@` includes a part instead of a chapter.
So a typical usage might look like this:
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
```yaml
! copyright.md
- preface.md
0. chapter_0.md # We want to start at chapter 0 instead of 1
# Next chapters can be numbered automatically
+ chapter_1.md
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
+ chapter_2.md
...
```
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
There are two important things to note:
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
1. you must *not* use quotes around the file names.
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
2. the path of these files are relative to the directory where your
2016-09-09 22:46:13 +02:00
configuration file is. This means you can run `crowbook
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
books/my_trilogy/first_book/config.book` without being in the
book's directory.
Also note that you don't have to specify a title. This is because the title
of the chapter is inferred from the Markdown document. To go back to
our previous example:
```
+ chapter_1.md
```
does not specify a chapter title, because it will read it directly in
`chapter_1.md`, e.g.:
```markdown
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
# The day I was born #
...
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
```
You should have one and only one level-one header (i.e. chapter title)
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
in each Markdown file.
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
If you have more than one, Crowbook will print a warning and treat it
as another chapter (numbered according to the scheme specified for
including the file). It might however mess the table of contents in
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
some cases (e.g. for EPUB).
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
If you do *not* have a level-1 header in a
markdown file:
* if it is a numbered chapter, Crowbook will infer a chapter name from
the numbering scheme;
* if it is not numbered, chapter's title will default to the empty
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
string.
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
### Parts ###
Parts are included using the `@` character, followed by the same characters than for chapters:
```
@+ numbered_part.md
+ chapter_01.md
+ chapter_02.md
@- unnumbered_part.md
+ chapter_03.md
+ chapter_04.md
@42. part_with_number_42.md
+ chapter_05.md
```
However, you usually don't really want to have a content directly
below the part, only chapters (though it can be useful to add an
introduction before the first chapter of this part), so there is also
a more straighforward way to use parts, using only the `@` character
followed by the (markdown-formatted) title of this part:
```
@ Beginning
+ chapter_01.md
+ chapter_02.md
@ Middle
+ chapter_03.md
+ chapter_04.md
@ Appendix
- notes.md
```
With this shortcut, parts are always numbered. So
```
@ Beginning
```
is equivalent to
```
@+ some_file.md
```
with `some_file.md` containing only a title:
```markdown
# Beginning
```
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
Crowbook options
----------------
The first part of the configuration file is dedicated to pass options
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
to Crowbook. This is
[YAML syntax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML), so each line should
be of the form `key: value`. Note that in most cases you don't have to
put string in quotes, e.g.:
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
```yaml
2016-02-19 21:35:49 +01:00
title: My title
```
2016-03-05 03:15:42 +01:00
It is however possible (and sometimes necessary) to escape some
characters to use quotes around strings:
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
```yaml
2016-03-05 03:15:42 +01:00
title: "My: title!"
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
```
2016-03-01 18:46:59 +01:00
It is possible to use multiline strings with `>-` and
2016-02-25 15:29:35 +01:00
then indenting the lines that are part of the string:
```yaml
2016-03-01 18:46:59 +01:00
title: >-
2016-02-25 15:29:35 +01:00
A
long
title
author: Joan Doe
```
2016-03-01 18:46:59 +01:00
will set `title` to `"A long title"`. See
[block literals in YAML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Block_literals)
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
for more information on the various way to insert multiline strings
(which mostly change the way newlines will or won't be inserted).
2016-02-25 15:29:35 +01:00
2016-03-05 03:15:42 +01:00
A final note on the syntax: all options must be set *before* the first
chapter inclusion (that is, a line beginning with '+', '-', 'x.'
(where `x` is a number) or '!').
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
### Metadata ###
Metadata are data about the book. Except for `cover`, which points to
an image file, all its fields are strings. The main metadata are:
* `author`: the author(s) of the book.
* `title`: the title of the book.
* `lang`: the language of the book. The unicode language code should
be used, e.g. `en_GB` or `en`, `fr_FR`, ...
* `cover`: path to an image file for the cover of the book (not displayed in all output formats).
There are also additional metadata:
* `subject`
* `description`
* `license`
* `version`
* `date`
You can define your own metadata by starting an option name with
`metadata.foo`.
All metadata are accessible from templates, see
[Templates](templates.md).
### The `import` special option ###
The special `import` option allows you to include the options
of another book configuration file. E.g., assuming that
you want some common options to be applied to both `foo.book`
and `bar.book`, you can create a `common.book` file:
```yaml
author: Joan Doe
lang: en
license: "Copyright (C) Joan Doe. All rights reserved."
html.header: "[Joan Doe's website](http://joan-doe.com)"
tex.template: my_template.tex
```
You can then include this file in `foo.book`:
```yaml
import: common.book
title: Foo
+ foo_01.md
+ foo_02.md
```
Or include it in `bar.book`, but override some of its features:
```yaml
import: common.book
title: Bar
license: CC-BY-SA # Override the license from common.book
+ bar_01.md
```
### Output options ###
These options specify which files to generate.
Note that all file paths are relative to the directory where the
config file is, not to the one where you run `crowbook`. So if you set
```yaml
output.epub: foo.epub
```
and runs
```bash
$ crowbook some/dir/config.book
```
`foo.epub` will be generated in `some/dir`, not in your current
directory.
Crowbook will try to generate each of the `output.xxx` files that are
specified. That means that you'll have to set at least one of those if you want a call to
```bash
$ crowbook my.book
```
to generate anything. (It's still possible to generate a specific
format, and only this one, by using the `--to` and `--output` argument on the command
line).
Note that some formats depend on some commands being installed on your
system. Most notably, Crowbook depends on LaTeX (`xelatex` by
default, though you can specify the command to use with `tex.command`) to generate a PDF file,
so PDF rendering won't work if it is not installed on your
system. Crowbook also uses the `zip` command to generate the EPUB and
ODT files.
Current output options are:
* `output.html`: renders a standalone HTML file.
* `output.html.dir`: render a HTML directory with one page by chapter.
* `output.epub`: renders an EPUB file.
* `output.tex`: renders a LaTeX file.
* `output.pdf`: renders a PDF file (using `tex.command`).
(There are other output options for generating proofreading files, see
[Proofreading](proofreading.md).)
#### `output.base_path` ####
Additionally, the `output.base_path` option allows you to set where
the output files will be written (relatively to the book configuration
file). E.g.,
```yaml
output.base_path: docs/book
output.epub: book.epub
```
will render the EPUB file in `docs/book/book.epub`.
### Input options ###
Crowbook does its best to improve the typography of your text. Default
settings should be good enough for most usages, but you
can enable/disable specific options:
* `input.clean`: if set to `false`, will disable all typographic
"cleaning" (default: `true`). The `clean` algorithm is
dependent on the language, though currently there is only a variant
implemented for `fr` (french), dealing with the specific
non-breaking spaces rules for this language.
* `input.clean.smart_quotes`: if set to `false`, disable the "smart
quote" feature, that (tries to) replace straight quotes with curly
ones. As it is an heuristics and can't be perfect, you might want to
disable it in some circumstances (default: `true`).
* `input.clean.ligature_dashes`: if set to `true`, will convert `--`
to en dash (`–`) and `---` to em dash (`—`). This can be useful if
you want to use these characters but can't access them easily on
your keymap; however, as it can also cause problems if you *do* want
to have two successive dashes, it is disabled by default.
* `input.clean.ligature_guillemets` is a similar feature for french 'guilemets', replacing
`<<` and `>>` to `«` and `»`. For the same reason, it is also
disabled by default.
### Generic options for rendering ###
These options allow to configure the rendering; they are used (or at
least should be) for all formats.
* `rendering.highlight`: specify if and how to perform syntax
highlighting for code blocks. Default value is `highlight.js`; this
will use [`highlight.js`](https://highlightjs.org/) for HTML
rendering, and will not perform any syntax highlighting for other
output formats. Other valid values are:
* `syntect`: uses the [syntect](https://crates.io/crates/syntect)
library to perform syntax highlighting. This has the advantage of
also enabling syntax highlighting for LaTeX/PDF and EPUB formats;
however syntect support is still experimental in Crowbook.
* `none`: disable syntax highlighting.
2017-03-05 04:09:24 +01:00
* `rendering.highlight.theme`: only used if `rendering.highlight` is
set to `syntect`, selects the theme to use for syntax
highlighting. Default is "InspiredGitHub". Valid theme names are
"InspiredGitHub", "Solarized (dark)", "Solarized (light)",
"base16-eighties.dark", "base16-mocha.dark", "base16-ocean.dark" and
"base16-ocean.light".
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
* `rendering.num_depth`: an integer that represents the maximum level of numbering for your
book. E.g., `1` will only number chapters, while `2` will number
chapters, sections, but not anything below that. `6` is the maximum level
and turns numbering on for all headers. (Default is `1`.)
* `rendering.chapter.template` and `rendering.part.template`: the
strings that will be used for chapter and part titles. It is
possible to include Markdown formatting in this template, but it
isn't advised, because it might cause problems for some formats
(e.g. your EPUB file might not be correct anymore).
* `rendering.part.roman_numerals` and
`rendering.chapter.roman_numerals`: these two booleans allow you to
specify if you want roman numerals for part or chapter numbers
(default is `true` for part numbers, and `false` for chapter
numbers).
* `rendering.inline_toc`: if set to true, Crowbook will include a table of contents at the
beginning of the document.
* `rendering.inline_toc.name`: the name of this table of contents as
it should be displayed in the document.
* `rendering.initials`: if set to true, Crowbook will use initials, or "lettrines", displaying
the first letter of each chapter bigger than the others.
* `rendering.part.reset_counter`: set it to `false` if you don't want
your chapter numbers to start again at 1 at each part.
### HTML Options ###
These options allow you to customize the HTML rendering (used both by
the default HTML standalone renderer and the HTML multifile renderer):
* `html.icon`: allows to set a `favicon` for the page.
* `html.header` and `html.footer` allow to set a custom (Markdown)
string at the top and at the bottom of the HTML page. This is
actually a template, so you can access
metadata, such as `{{{author}}}`, `{{{title}}}`, or `{{{version}}}`
in it. See the [template](templates.md) chapter for more information
on the fields you can use.
* `html.css` allow to set up a custom CSS file. You can also redefine
the colours in a file and set it using `html.css.colours`.
2017-03-05 04:09:24 +01:00
* `html.highlight.theme`: similar to `rendering.highlight.theme` but
only sets the theme for HTML output.
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
#### Options for standalone HTML ####
There are a few options specific to the standalone HTML renderer
(default, set with `output.html`):
* `html.standalone.one_chapter`, if set to true, will only display one
chapter at a time (using Javascript), making it look similarly to
the multifile HTML.
* `html.standalone.template` allows you to change or modify the HTML
template for standalone HTML.
### Options for LaTeX/PDF rendering ###
These options allow you to customize the LaTeX renderer (and, thus,
the generated PDF documents):
* `tex.template` specifies a different LaTeX template.
* `tex.class` changes the LaTeX class used.
* `tex.paper_size` and `tex.font.size` (default `a5paper` and `10pt`)
allows to modify the page and font size .
* `tex.links_as_footnotes` can be set to `false` if you don't want
links to also appear as footnotes (which means losing them
if it is actually printed).
2017-03-05 04:09:24 +01:00
* `tex.highlight.theme`: similar to `rendering.highlight.theme`, but
only sets the theme for LaTeX/PDF rendering.
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
### Options for EPUB rendering ###
There are also options specific to the EPUB format:
* `epub.version` can be set to 2 or 3 (default 2).
* `epub.css` can be useful if you want to specify a customized stylesheet.
2017-03-05 04:09:24 +01:00
* `epub.highlight.theme`: similar to `rendering.highlight.theme` but
only sets a theme for EPUB output.
2016-12-31 00:00:31 +01:00
### Resources options ###
These options allow to embed additional files for some formats
(currently, only EPUB). This can be useful for embedding fonts.
#### resources.files ####
A list of files or directories that should be added. It's a
whitespace-separated list, so it can be, e.g.:
```yaml
resources.files: font1.otf font2.otf
```
It is also possible to specify a directory (or multiple
directories). So if you have a `fonts` directories containing
`font1.otf` and `font2.otf`,
```yaml
resources.files: fonts
```
will be equivalent to:
```yaml
resources.files: fonts/font1.otf fonts/font2.otf
```
**default**: not set
#### resources.out_path ####
This option determine where (in which directory), *in the resulting
document*, those files will be copied. The default is `data`, so by
default the `resources.files` in the first example above will search
`font1.otf` and `font2.otf` *in the same directory than the `.book`
file*, and will copy them to `data/font1.otf` and `data/font2.otf` *in
the EPUB file*. This is therefore this last path that you should use
if you want to access those files e.g. in a custom CSS stylesheet.
Note that if you pass directories to `resources.files`, the whole
directory would be copied. So assuming `fonts/` contains `font1.otf`
and `font2.otf`
```yaml
resources.files: fonts
resources.path: data
```
will copy these two files to `data/fonts/font1.otf` and
`data/fonts/font2.otf` (and not `data/font1.otf` and `data/font2.otf`).
Similarly, the whole path of `resources.files` is copied, so
```yaml
resources.files: fonts/font1.otf fonts/font2.otf
```
will yield the same result.
**default**: `data`
## Full list of options ##

Note that these options have a type, which in most case should be
pretty straightforward (a boolean can be `true` or `false`, an integer
2016-09-28 21:25:26 +02:00
must be composed by a number, a string is, well, any string). The `path`
2016-03-01 21:41:23 +01:00
type might puzzle you a
2016-09-09 22:46:13 +02:00
bit, but it's equivalent to a string, except Crowbook will consider it
2016-09-23 02:58:30 +02:00
relatively to the book file. The `template path` type is just the
2016-10-13 06:13:03 +02:00
`path` of a template. Metadata are just strings.
