[FM Discuss] need more help publishing ...

[Daniel James]

Hi Helen,

> thanks mick; i thought i was using "get booki gears" ... where do i find it?

Via the login at http://www.flossmanuals.net/admin.php

The Publish tab is currently for exporting non-HTML formats such as PDF
and EPUB. Flossmanuals grabs a static copy of the book's HTML plus a
screen PDF and a generic EPUB (which is what the separate bookipublisher
tool does).

I believe static HTML export is in the Booktype roadmap, but you can
also read the book directly in Booktype, e.g:

http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-16-for-authors-and-publishers/what-is-booktype/

which gives readers direct access to the 'edit' button, should you want
to allow that.

Cheers!

Daniel
