Convert HTML files to epub files programmatically ( command line ubuntu )

Is it possible to convert a HTML5 file or text to epub file via a unix command line ? Is it possible to automate this process ??

thanks

Solution

  • You can try pandoc

    sudo apt-get install pandoc
pandoc -f html -t epub3 -o output.epub input.html

    You can add metadata for epub:

    pandoc -f html -t epub3 --epub-metadata=metadata.xml -o output.epub input.html

    Metadata xml file: metadata.xml
