Use this script alongside Calibre to pull any number of articles from [Marxists.org](marxists.org) and convert them into a single ebook. Use this script alongside Calibre to pull any number of articles from [Marxists.org](marxists.org) and convert them into a single ebook.
#NOTE:
This is very much a work in progress, and may break frequently.
The index_crawler.py script seems much more successful so I'm working on that now.
It's roughly the same thing but the way it identifies chapters works better with various authors.
Rather than me documenting the ever-changing CLI, for now just use "python3 index_crawler.py --help". Note that there are placeholder arguments for some unimplemented features.
##Requirements ##Requirements
In addition to the python libraries listed in requirements.txt, this script requires [Calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/) and its add-on [EpubMerge](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169744). Right now the executables "ebook-merge" and "calibre-debug" must be in your path.
