Ibis Book Maker

Installation

Make sure you have PHP7.3 or above installed on your system.

First, install the composer package globally:

composer global require themsaid/ibis

Then, run this command inside an empty directory:

ibis init

This will create the following files and directories:

• /assets
• /assets/fonts
• /assets/cover.jpg
• /assets/theme-light.html
• /assets/theme-dark.html
• /content
• /ibis.php

You may configure your book by editing the /ibis.php configuration file.

Writing Your eBook

Inside the content directory, you can write multiple .md files. Ibis uses the headings to divide the book into parts and chapters:

# Part 1

<h1> tags define the start of a part. A separate PDF page will be generated to print the part title and any content below.

## Chapter 1

<h2> tags define the start of a chapter. A chapter starts on a new page always.

### Starting with Ibis

<h3> tags define different titles inside a chapter.

Generating PDF eBook

ibis build

Ibis will parse the files in alphabetical order and store the PDF file in /export.

The default is to generate the PDF using the light theme, to generate a PDF using the dark theme:

ibis build dark

Generating A Sample

ibis sample

ibis sample dark

This command will use the generated files from the ibis build command to generate samples from your PDF eBook. You can configure which pages to include in the sample by updating the /ibis.php file.
