Abstract |
PressBooks is an open-source book publishing platform built on WordPress that makes it easy for you and your team to write, edit, and generate clean, well-formatted books in multiple outputs: epub, print-ready PDF, layout-ready XML, and HTML. Hugh will provide an overview of the PressBooks project and Christine will demo how the University of Washington’s Technology & Social Change group is using the platform to publish academic texts.

it would have to have suffered from the lack of
00:09
any course that people will have the value the whereas
00:18
that is at the beginning to the production work of the truth of some of generates you know that books well so
00:35
you have a a say also the and we it on the board of some that can be very different from 1 to so of
00:57
exporting when I see you know we want to close the gap there 1 of the unilateral in using the system in the the eyes of the also work the some part of the
01:40
remnants of yeah yeah I mean that goes of
01:57
critical of this thing about this however you will be used this is 1 of the the these decisions both of are all of the Office of
02:26
the reaction of I also they will and you don't have to be aware of of Texas the start so all the way over and you in this society of the of the world confidence you so that should work with you in the lexical entries in the beginning with all of us or this work on each of self metadata associated with the user in the world and the real part of what be as mentioned in the book titles that the language of so that is rough ride so I think the inherent in the book itself so that the British government as well as the more bullish data were 10 around whereas the use of writing here we also support from 100 meters that all of the several this work was you but you are right here some of the best of life here is this what each year by
04:48
the year here In the value of the dollar 1 the last thing you
05:06
should just as we have a lot of people here that were the
05:21
1 we have a lot of the problem so last time and the the the but
06:03
what do you want to talk to so we're actually most of
06:25
the time so the answer is we use wiki publisher I. which she takes our output we generate optical Wikibook mark-up which is in the dock document mark-up and then uh using the wiki publisher LaTeCH engine and I don't even know which the flavor of of LaTeCH engine is in there but that's a separate open-source project but we're running an honor to receive the a little tuple between excuse me there was another question the land used to justify the ways in which we can just the mean and variance so and I published that you doesn't books for and researchers mostly international development projects the along the extent of my calculate that they cost of together with a printout that 20 thousand dollars each this sort of like a quick view of what they look like and so I would like to make that work flow much less expensive and much less painful and and also uh in academia and international will slow to catch up so we just kind of figuring out what this this heap of things have settled and so come for me what's interesting about this well that's really
08:12
so that this is a project that I'm working on using Pathworks what's interesting about this for me is that I can take the graph file from the researcher and I can put it into press books and it forces me to have a discussion with them about how like the levels of headers I will get things like 5 levels and had a reasonable less of list of forces me to get ahead and get get a discussion going where where structuring the text better ahead of time and that the a lot of a lot of time and a lot of stress and therefore the editing can happen in press books that you
09:00
already gave you an overview of this of the like the dashboard there isn't metadata sorry my screen is also seriously you've got the front matter if you are if you are a summary of how you can move them around again you can just go in and edit the chapter close here to get clinics in and out of the army that beautiful thing areas so that I could just press this button when they're done please work on and that kid's removal and authority uh so I can hear and like I said pressed a button and garden you know pretty decent wages book so very exciting for me and my team and that's pretty much it thanks to talk to track the question if this is this is done actually question on the deck should list you about 2 years ago but it would be bayesian being thank you so much limits the fact that the President
