This is detailed, step-by-step instructions of getting this set up, with screenshots to help with commands and outcomes. An "idiot's guide" if you like, because I was that idiot.
One of the many hats I wear is that of book formatter. As an indie author/press, it made sense to do it for myself, and now I do it for other folks too. :)
Need a re-release formatted? Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and do formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.
I took some time to work out the exact #formatting that #Elasticsearch demands. If you think this might be useful, go ahead and boost. If you find any errors or would like to suggest additions, please also post a reply!
Hopefully this can help prevent a lot of frustration and trouble people might encounter and give them a better Mastodon experience!
