Try this maybe:

1. Compile AsciiDoc Files into a Single HTML File:

Using AsciiDoctor, you can convert all asciidoc files into a single HTML file. The command is:

asciidoctor -b html5 -o output.html input.adoc

Repeat for all asciidoc files and then concatenate them into a single HTML file.

2. Create a CSS File (Optional):

If styling is necessary, create a CSS file and link it within the HTML file.

3. Convert HTML to ePub using Pandoc:

Once you have an HTML file, you can convert it to ePub using Pandoc. The command is:

pandoc output.html -o final.epub

4. Modify Calibre Settings (If Needed):

If you're still considering using Calibre, ensure that the settings match the specific needs of the file you're converting. Sometimes, altering specific input or output settings can resolve conversion issues.

That is the the command I ran earlier, only I had all the input files listed together. Doing it your way, I successfully converted all of the manually to HTML, although two generated errors:

E[line ###] section out of sequence: expected level 3, got level 4

I don’t understand what the issue was, but the HTML generated anyway, so I moved on.

After successfully merging everything to a single HTML file, I dropped it into Calibre and converted to ePub—it appears to have worked!

If anyone wants the file rather than recreate my path, send me a DM.

Thank you!!!

This is getting ridiculous.

I got Pandoc so that I could compile the github files into an ePub. But the source files were in asciidoc format, so I went to install AsciiDoctor. That required Ruby, which I installed.

(I also took a side trail and looked into using the AsciiDoctor extension with Visual Studio. In the desktop version, the extension search wouldn't find AsciiDoctor, so I switched to the browser-based version, then discovered the browser-based version of AsciiDoctor doesn't support exporting files to PDF or HTML. I switched back to desktop, somehow was able to find and install the extension, but then couldn't find the menu options to export any files.)

I finally got Pandoc and AsciiDoctor working in the command line, but when I tried to merge all the asciidoc files together, I got a variety of errors. First I moved some config files around so my command could find them, but the other issues involve hierarchal structure problems in the source files. Wut?

When I was searching for a free version of this book and saw the GitHub repository, I thought "Yes! I should be able to get this into an ePub in a couple of clicks." But no. It's been way more complicated than that, and I still haven't succeeded.

I don't have time to work through this anymore. Why is this so difficult?!?! Should I just bail?

There's always tried-and-true asciidoctor: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-epub3

Yep. ChatGPT had directed me to Pandoc, but it couldn’t handle the asciidoc source files. So that took me to Asciidoctor, which required me to get RubyInstaller. So that’s what I’m waiting on currently.

Format is asciidoc. Asciidoctor can convert to pdf. In the following article is shown a VS Code addon can do the job as well

#AskNostr

This Andreas Antonopoulos ebook about the Lightning Network is available for free in a GitHub repository:

https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook

However, I cannot figure out how to take the repository and compile it into an ePub file. Dropping it into Calibre doesn't work, and I can't find instructions online.

This MUST be a simple task, yet I'm frustrated in my attempts to get an answer.

Help me, Nostr plebs; you're my only hope.

No, you missed my point. God's people are not to worship money, PERIOD.

> Yes, I was to personally benefit economically from it, but that’s not the primary reason I support it

I don't believe this for one nanosecond. Everyone around here meditates on money and bitcoin the way an actual monk meditates on God. It's your entire world, you worship it and give it all your energy. Many use words like "salvation" or "enlightenment" or "cleansing" and try to pretend it's not their religion.

You act altruistic, but the greed is obvious. You are a whitewashed tomb whose god is mammon, distracted from the things of the true God.

You seem to know a lot about me and my motivations….

I agree with you that we should not worship money.

Everyone marketing bitcoin claims it to be about freedom, but in reality, it's a fancy investment tool and nothing more. Then they sacrilegiously compare it to the divine while conveniently forgetting that God did not create us to be financiers but to care for the earth.

Paul taught Christians to work with their hands (1 Thess 4 11), because all the bankers, bureaucrats, merchants, rabbis, and other busybodies provided nothing useful to society. This tendency to do actual work saved many Romans as the Roman empire decayed and actually helped to reverse the trend of Christian persecution by Constantine's time.

And what do the people who peddle in bitcoin all day provide? You claim to be freeing people from governments but instead push their minds toward money for the sake of money, and a paltry amount at that: bitcoin's deflation ensures that those who already bought into the system years ago will always hold disproportionate control over those just now starting.

And you continue to "HODL" and encourage others to do the same, never actually producing anything, never actually building a parallel economy, only talking about how "valuable" it is, even to the point of heretically comparing its value with the Almighty God.

You think you have money, but in reality, money has you.

sethforbtc 2y ago

I take your point, but I think you’re too simplistic.

I truly believe Bitcoin has the potential to cleanse the economy—and much of culture along with it. Yes, I was to personally benefit economically from it, but that’s not the primary reason I support it.

If I had a button that would guarantee the success of Bitcoin, but at the cost of me receiving any direct economic benefit, I would push it—no hesitation.
