HemePub's living example is hametuha. It's a WordPress site which is able to publish it's contents to ePub.

If you maintain PHP-based web apps, HamePub will help your multi-publishing.

NOTICE: HamePub means nothing sexual. I wrote like this, because it sounds meaningful in Japanese. (HamePubはePub作成のためのPHPライブラリであり、エッチな出来事が起きるパブではありません）

How to Install

Use composer.

composer require haemtuha/hamepub

How to Use

You can use HamePub for dynamic ePub generation, but for clarification, suppose that you have a static HTML collection like below:

dist
- index.html
- content.html
- colophon.html
- css
  - style.css
- img
  - cover.jpg
  - graph.jpg
  - barchart.png

Now we have CLI tool hamepub and you can run CLI command in your working directory.

# Dump setting file to default location (setting.json in project root).
./vendor/bin/hamepub init

# Or specify a custom file path.
./vendor/bin/hamepub init file=my-setting.json

Next, edit JSON file like below:

{
    "lang": "en",
    "root": "./dist/",
    "id": "my-first-ebook",
    "isbn": "1234567890123",
    "title": "My First Book",
    "author": "Fumiki Takahashi",
    "target": "./out",
    "published": "2023-01-01T23:00:00Z",
    "direction": "ltr",
    "cover": "./dist/img/cover.jpg",
    "toc": "Table of Contents",
    "header": {
        "max_level": 3,
        "depth": 2
    },
    "hidden": ["toc"]
}
