Prophecy Book Boilerplate

Book boilerplate to generate books as EPUB, MOBI, and PDF from simple Markdown text files. Or from HTML. Or from LaTeX. Or mixed.

Page layout, CSS typography, the format standards, TOC navPoints, manifest, guide -- is the litany of pain.

$ gem install prophecy
$ prophecy new "This World"
$ cd thisworld
$ vim book.yml
$ prophecy epub && prophecy mobi && prophecy latex
