Converting to EPUB Indexes

https://github.com/bhdirect-ebooks/epubindex

  • Run sudo npm install -g @bhdirect/epubindex to install on your system
  • Navigate into the directory of the EPUB for which you want to convert indexes
  • All files in /OEBPS/text that contain ‘_index’ in their filename will be processed and overwritten, so be sure to commit all changes before running epubindex
  • Run by entering epubindex
  • You now should have valid epub index files, coded according to the Indexes section of Recommended Code.
