Pressbooks
Pressbooks is a book content management system which
produces multiple formats: ebooks, webbooks, print-ready PDF, and various
XML flavours. Pressbooks is built on top of
WordPress Multisite, and makes
significant changes to:
- admin interface (customized for books and other structured documents, such as
magazines, journals, reports, etc.); - web presentation layer (again, customized for books and structured documents);
and - export routines.
Pressbooks is free software, released under the
GPL v3.0 or later license.
Our web/ebook and PDF exports are all driven by HTML + CSS. XML outputs have
no styling.
Important!
- Do NOT use Pressbooks with an existing WordPress site.
- Please use with a FRESH install of
WP MULTISITE. - If this makes you nervous, please use our free site:
Pressbooks, or contact us.
