Free Software Free Society, Second Edition

eBook of Free Software Free Society, Second Edition

Important Notice

Please note that the contents of this page are very old, and therefore some of the techniques explained are quite rudimentary.

I only performed basic automatic text manipulation to obtain the XHTML files from which I compiled the eBook version. Therefore, the resulting XHTML is not really tidy, but it is W3C compliant, and the generated EPUB is valid according to the IDPF validator. If you want to (manually?) clean the XHTML source up, feel free to do so. In case, I would love to receive a copy of the final file(s), thanks!

Short story (for the impatient)

Long story (for the expert)

I converted the original Texinfo source files of Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman, Second Edition into LaTeX source files with some custom Python and Bash scripts. Then, using TeX4ht and calibre, I compiled the book into XHTML and EPUB/MOBI. You can download my LaTeX files from the link below. Comments are welcome, especially if you point out mistakes or you have useful suggestions: just drop me an email.
