So cool! Is this a manual process? Are yall building a tool to convert pdfs to this format?
GM and a happy New Year, Nostriches.
We at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz have reached another milestone, on our way to #Alexandria v 0.1.0 (Gutenberg edition).
We have printed the entire Bible using 30040/30041 notes and made them available for you to peruse, using a pre-release of our Nostr client. The books are broken down by chapter. Breakdowns by verse will be delivered with the beta release. In addition, we have printed "Jane Eyre", so that you get some idea of how quickly a full-length novel can load. We are working on making it faster, with pagination, but this is already surprisingly quick.
You can't yet use the client to upload books (please use the e-book CLI, for that), and it's all a bit buggy and wonky, but we have already implemented a first pass at the Visualization page.
Feel free to view the Asciidoc test data, here: https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/. You can log in with a browser extension. (We are still working on the site certificate. Please excuse the mess.)

It's a bit manual for the upload now, but eventually it will be fairly normal.
PDF conversion is a given, eventually, except that this is in many ways superior to PDFs.
I agree your format is better, but I have tbs ID upload to a tool like that to get in ascii format in hopes that a DVM could read them to me instead of so many podcasts!
We use Asciidoctor, which has converters for most common formats.

You have to add a "=" or "#" in front of the title and "==" or "##" in front of a chapter, and so on. And then you paste it in, to the CLI or Alexandria, and it makes the events out of it.
