Go program to build a scientific web book. All the details are described in the web book Building Scientific Web Books
A book consists of a set of HTML files. A configuration file (configuration.json) defines the order of the files. With the command
makeWebBook bookDirectory
the following actions are performed provided a corresponding element starts with the text "Chapter" or "Appendix" (otherwise the section is not modified; this is useful for a preface or a reference chapter):
-
<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4> elements are updated with section numbers.
-
<caption> elements are updated with table numbers.
-
<figcaption> elements are updated with figure numbers.
-
<div class="equation"> $$ ... $$ </div> are updated with equation numbers.
-
<a href=”..”>..</a> elements are updated with file name, link text and tool tip if the link points to a position in the book.
If a number is not present, it is introduced (with exception of <h1> element, where a number is only introduced if the text starts with "Chapter" or with "Appendix"). If it is present and correct, nothing is changed. Otherwise, the number is updated.
A navigation bar is introduced in all files with links to the "table of contents" file, the previous, and the next file.
The "table of contents" file is updated with the actual document structure.
