Why is that? And what are my other options(which is the best)
Anything else, is best.
The files are extremely bloated, and parsing, searching, and editing them is an algorithmic and computational PITA.
Markup, ftw.
Ohhh thank you. Us untech savvy people don't know this kinda stuff
Jane Eyre is:
* Markup (Asciidoc) = 1,04 KB + 242 KB
* EPUB = 640 KB
* HTML = 1,21 MB + 242 KB
* PDF = 4.26 MB
(+242 KB is the cover image.)
Ftw
I thought each d tag was a file, so the sum is about
474 KB in xml
Truth, but Tor Browser won't save webpages as anything else :(
No, these aren't the events, they're the formatted, exported documents.
Just go here, wait for it to load, and click the "..." button next to the title. Then choose the format you want to download.

I dont understand why html as a portable file sharing option isnt more of a standard..
1. Universally renderable
2. works for any kind of media
3. completely customizable
4. Easily portable.
the combobox trigger "...", ah ok it also contains the ToC, I downloaded it in html format, is there an app to read it?
Currently using plain text and markdown🤷♂️
HTML relies on either additional files or hosted for things like images, also not sure if models exist for constraining printable proportions.
Not saying PDFs are good but not sure html is the solution either.
Who is printing this stuff?
PDF I'd fine for stuff that needs to look exactly so when printed, but for anything else? Ew.
It's how the Universe stores reality. ... Oh you meant that kind of PDF.
Any browser.
Nobody really prints anything out, anymore, unless it's sheet music or books, and those display well with markup and EPUB. (As we have shown.) EPUB has embedded images, and it's easy to convert back and forth from EPUB to markup.
The prose doesn't also need to be an image. If people zoom in, they want to see the text in a larger font, not the page magnified. Or they want to expand an image or graphic. That is best handled in-client.
Yeah, Nobody prints. We're a house with 5 adults and 2 printers and we just replaced the toner in both and decided that it's the last time. We haven't printed out anything in months. We're downsizing to one printer and when that thing kicks the bucket, we're not replacing it.
It's much more important that documents look good on laptop and cell phone screens, or e-paper, than on paper.
What that functionality does is convert the event or set of events to one Asciidoc file, and then sends it to my Asciidoctor server, which returns the converted file, including a ToC.
Images can be base64encoded any binary can be encoded to text these are just excuses.
Yeah, the PDF images are just text in the stream.
I'll keep a brother color laser printer until the end of time. Just cuz.
We have connections with a nice print shop. They print out albums and books for us.
I've done it before, the HTML page contained everything from scripts to files that could be downloaded.
Extra points that it can be sent as email and be rendered properly since everything is inside the HTML code.
Websites are just HTML pages, after all.
ok it works
Had a decent run with chat about this. It’s possible, but key thing is standardizing for printing.

Webpack aleady helps you bundle everything into a single file btw.
I said I don't like _storing_ data as a PDF. I specially built a download function, to produce a PDF for printing, from the database.
Those are two completely different things.
