How to use it
- Paste your text or open a .txt or .md file.
- Set the title, author and language code.
- Choose Markdown or plain text, where chapters start, and, for plain text, how paragraphs are marked.
- Add a cover if you have one, check the chapter list and press Download EPUB.
How it works
The text is split into chapters at headings. Markdown chapters are turned into HTML with the same converter as the Markdown to HTML tool and closed into well-formed XHTML; plain-text chapters become one paragraph per line or per block between blank lines. The chapters, a navigation page, a toc.ncx and a stylesheet are packed into a ZIP with the EPUB mimetype first, and a random book identifier is created in your browser.
Worked example
The sample text has two headings, so the book has 2 chapters: “Chapter 1” with one paragraph (the word Anna in italics), and “Chapter 2” with a sentence and a three-item list. Both names appear in the reader’s table of contents.
Tips
- For a novel saved as plain text with one paragraph per line, keep Every line is a paragraph.
- Text wrapped at a fixed width (hard line breaks inside paragraphs) needs Blank lines separate paragraphs, which joins the lines back.
- To check the book, open it in your reader or read it back with the EPUB to TXT converter.
