rfc2epub - create an epub ebook from an IETF RFC

rfc2epub's Issues

reflow or not?

I tried it once but what I received was an epub without "reflown" paragraphs. Even worse. My Pocketbook Touch HD didn't even break lines.

Is this teh intended output? Should the epub match as closely as possible the original monospaced layout of RFCs?

thrown in /rfc2epub on line 270 using docker example

Hi, running your docker example script I'm receiving the following error message. Can you please give me a hint on what could be the issue?

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Empty string supplied as input in /rfc2epub on line 250

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getElementsByTagName() on null in /rfc2epub:270

Many thanks,

Does it work with php 7.2?

Hi,
I did

sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-xml php7.2-curl php7.2-zip

but I still get

php rfc2epub rfc6750 rfc6750.epub

PHP Warning:  DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Empty string supplied as input in /home/guda/rfc/rfc2epub/rfc2epub on line 212
PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'childNodes' of non-object in /home/guda/rfc/rfc2epub/rfc2epub on line 220
PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'length' of non-object in /home/guda/rfc/rfc2epub/rfc2epub on line 220
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function appendChild() on null in /home/guda/rfc/rfc2epub/rfc2epub:250
Stack trace:

  thrown in /home/guda/rfc/rfc2epub/rfc2epub on line 250

Is this because of the php version?

Fix to option parsing, font size, etc

Hey team!

I just created a branch with various improvements -- fixing option parsing to use getopt, adding controllable font sizes, and maybe most useful, adding a --preset argument that picks good defaults for particular devices. (I've only implemented paperwhite for now, since that's the only device I have to hand and Kindle Previewer doesn't work with custom or monospaced fonts, alas, but this should be easy to extend!)

However, I don't have access to push branches. What's your preferred way to get PR's?
