ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]

Convert an e-book from one format to another.

input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be specified as the first two arguments to the command.

The output e-book format is guessed from the file extension of output_file. output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT is the output file extension. In this case, the name of the output file is derived from the name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_file has no extension, then it is treated as a directory and an "open e-book" (OEB) consisting of HTML files is written to that directory. These files are the files that would normally have been passed to the output plugin.

After specifying the input and output file you can customize the conversion by specifying various options. The available options depend on the input and output file types. To get help on them specify the input and output file and then use the -h option.

For full documentation of the conversion system see conversion

Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-convert that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"

The options and default values for the options change depending on both the input and output formats, so you should always check with:

ebook-convert myfile.input_format myfile.output_format -h

Below are the options that are common to all conversion, followed by the options specific to every input and output format.

--input-profile
    Määritä syöttöprofiili. Syöttöprofiili antaa käännökselle järjestelmätiedot, joiden perusteella lukuisat syöttödokumentit tulkitaan. Esimerkiksi resoluution pituus (eli pituus pikseleinä). Vaihtoehdot ovat:cybookg3, cybook_opus, default, hanlinv3, hanlinv5, illiad, irexdr1000, irexdr800, kindle, msreader, mobipocket, nook, sony, sony300, sony900

--list-recipes
    List builtin recipe names. You can create an e-book from a builtin recipe like this: ebook-convert "Recipe Name.recipe" output.epub

--output-profile
    Specify the output profile. The output profile tells the conversion system how to optimize the created document for the specified device (such as by resizing images for the device screen size). In some cases, an output profile can be used to optimize the output for a particular device, but this is rarely necessary. Choices are:cybookg3, cybook_opus, default, generic_eink, generic_eink_hd, generic_eink_large, hanlinv3, hanlinv5, illiad, ipad, ipad3, irexdr1000, irexdr800, jetbook5, kindle, kindle_dx, kindle_fire, kindle_oasis, kindle_pw, kindle_pw3, kindle_voyage, kobo, msreader, mobipocket, nook, nook_color, nook_hd_plus, pocketbook_900, pocketbook_pro_912, galaxy, sony, sony300, sony900, sony-landscape, sonyt3, tablet

INPUT-VALINNAT

Valinnat, jotka kontrolloivat input mobi tiedoston prosessointia

--input-encoding
    Määritä dokumentin merkkien koodaus. Valittuna tämä vaihtoehto kumoaa kaiken dokumentin itsensä määräämän koodauksen. Tämä on erityisen käyttökelpoinen sellaisten dokumenttien kanssa, jotka eivät määrää koodausta tai joiden koodaus on virheellinen.

ULOSTULO-ASETUKSET

Asetukset, joilla kontrolloidaan ulostulo epub prosessointia

--dont-split-on-page-breaks
    Poista käytöstä katkaisu sivunvaihtojen kohdalla. Tavallisesti lisätyt tiedostot katkaistaan sivunvaihtojen kohdalta erillisiin tiedostoihin. Tällainen e-kirja kyetään esittämään nopeammin ja kevyemmin. Katkaiseminen on kuitenkin hidasta ja jos lähdetiedostossa on suuri määrä sivunvaihtoja, katkaisu kannattaa poistaa käytöstä.

--epub-flatten
    Tämä valinta on tarpeen, jos aikot käyttää EPUB-tiedostoa FBReaderJ:ssä. Toiminto litistää EPUBin sisäisen tiedostorakenteen, siten että kaikki tiedostot ovat pääkansiossa.

--epub-inline-toc
    Lisää inline-sisällysluettelon, joka näkyy kirjan sisällön osana.

--epub-toc-at-end
    Lisää inline-sisällysluettelon kirjan loppuun alun sijaan.

--epub-version
    Luotavan EPUB-tiedoston versio. EUPB 2 on yleisimmin yhteensopiva versio, käytä EPUB 3:a vain jos tiedät tarvitsevasi sitä.

--extract-to
    Pura luodun EPUB-tiedoston sisältö osoitettuun kansioon. Kansion sisältö tyhjennetään ensin kokonaan, käytä varoen.

--flow-size
    Jaa kaikki HTML-tiedostot jotka ovat tätä kokoa (KB) suurempia. Tämä on tarpeen, koska useimmat EPUB-lukijat eivät pysty käsittelemään suuria tiedostoja. Oletuskoko on %dKB, joka vaaditaan Adobe Digital Editionsiin. Aseta 0 KB estääksesi jakaminen kokonaan.

--no-default-epub-cover
    Tavallisesti, jos lähdetiedostossa ei ole kansikuvaa ja et osoita sellaista, luodaan peruskansikuva otsikosta, tekijöistä jne. Tämä valinta poistaa toiminnon.

--no-svg-cover
    Älä käytä kannessa SVG-kuvia. Käytä tätä asetusta jos EPUB-kirjaasi käytetään laitteessa joka ei tue SVG:itä, kuten iPhonessa tai Jetbook Litessa. Jos tätä ei ole asetettu, nämä laitteet näyttävät kannen tyhjänä sivuna.

--preserve-cover-aspect-ratio
    Kun käytät SVG-kuvaa kantena, tämä valinta asettaa kannen peittämään koko näyttöalan, mutta säilyttää silti kuvasuhteen (leveyden ja korkeuden suhde). Kuvaan voi tällöin jäädä valkoiset reunukset, mutta kuva ei vääristy. Jos valintaa ei ole kytketty, kuva voi vääristyä hiemen, mutta reunuksia ei jää.

--pretty-print
    Mikäli määritelty, lisäosa yrittää luoda tuloksen, joka on mahdollisimman luettava. Ei vaikuta välttämättä muiden tulokseen vaikuttavien lisäosien toimintaan.

--toc-title
    Luotavan inline-sisällysluettelon otsikko.

LOOK AND FEEL

Asetukset, joilla kontrolloidaan ulostulon ulkoasua

--asciiize
    Transliterate unicode characters to an ASCII representation. Use with care because this will replace unicode characters with ASCII. For instance it will replace "Михаил Горбачёв" with "Mikhail Gorbachiov". Also, note that in cases where there are multiple representations of a character (characters shared by Chinese and Japanese for instance) the representation based on the current calibre interface language will be used.

--base-font-size
    The base font size in pts. All font sizes in the produced book will be rescaled based on this size. By choosing a larger size you can make the fonts in the output bigger and vice versa. By default, when the value is zero, the base font size is chosen based on the output profile you chose.

--change-justification
    Change text justification. A value of "left" converts all justified text in the source to left aligned (i.e. unjustified) text. A value of "justify" converts all unjustified text to justified. A value of "original" (the default) does not change justification in the source file. Note that only some output formats support justification.

--disable-font-rescaling
    Disable all rescaling of font sizes.

--embed-all-fonts
    Embed every font that is referenced in the input document but not already embedded. This will search your system for the fonts, and if found, they will be embedded. Embedding will only work if the format you are converting to supports embedded fonts, such as EPUB, AZW3, DOCX or PDF. Please ensure that you have the proper license for embedding the fonts used in this document.

--embed-font-family
    Embed the specified font family into the book. This specifies the "base" font used for the book. If the input document specifies its own fonts, they may override this base font. You can use the filter style information option to remove fonts from the input document. Note that font embedding only works with some output formats, principally EPUB, AZW3 and DOCX.

--expand-css
    By default, calibre will use the shorthand form for various CSS properties such as margin, padding, border, etc. This option will cause it to use the full expanded form instead. Note that CSS is always expanded when generating EPUB files with the output profile set to one of the Nook profiles as the Nook cannot handle shorthand CSS.

--extra-css
    Either the path to a CSS stylesheet or raw CSS. This CSS will be appended to the style rules from the source file, so it can be used to override those rules.

--filter-css
    A comma separated list of CSS properties that will be removed from all CSS style rules. This is useful if the presence of some style information prevents it from being overridden on your device. For example: font-family,color,margin-left,margin-right

--font-size-mapping
    Mapping from CSS font names to font sizes in pts. An example setting is 12,12,14,16,18,20,22,24. These are the mappings for the sizes xx-small to xx-large, with the final size being for huge fonts. The font rescaling algorithm uses these sizes to intelligently rescale fonts. The default is to use a mapping based on the output profile you chose.

--insert-blank-line
    Lisää tyhjä rivi kappaleiden väliin. Ei toimi, jos lähdetiedosto ei käytä kappaleita (<p> tai <div> -tageja).

--insert-blank-line-size
    Set the height of the inserted blank lines (in em). The height of the lines between paragraphs will be twice the value set here.

--keep-ligatures
    Preserve ligatures present in the input document. A ligature is a special rendering of a pair of characters like ff, fi, fl et cetera. Most readers do not have support for ligatures in their default fonts, so they are unlikely to render correctly. By default, calibre will turn a ligature into the corresponding pair of normal characters. This option will preserve them instead.

--line-height
    The line height in pts. Controls spacing between consecutive lines of text. Only applies to elements that do not define their own line height. In most cases, the minimum line height option is more useful. By default no line height manipulation is performed.

--linearize-tables
    Some badly designed documents use tables to control the layout of text on the page. When converted these documents often have text that runs off the page and other artifacts. This option will extract the content from the tables and present it in a linear fashion.

--margin-bottom
    Set the bottom margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.

--margin-left
    Set the left margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.

--margin-right
    Set the right margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.

--margin-top
    Set the top margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set (the margin setting in the original document will be preserved). Note: Page oriented formats such as PDF and DOCX have their own margin settings that take precedence.

--minimum-line-height
    The minimum line height, as a percentage of the element's calculated font size. calibre will ensure that every element has a line height of at least this setting, irrespective of what the input document specifies. Set to zero to disable. Default is 120%. Use this setting in preference to the direct line height specification, unless you know what you are doing. For example, you can achieve "double spaced" text by setting this to 240.

--remove-paragraph-spacing
    Remove spacing between paragraphs. Also sets an indent on paragraphs of 1.5em. Spacing removal will not work if the source file does not use paragraphs (<p> or <div> tags).

--remove-paragraph-spacing-indent-size
    When calibre removes blank lines between paragraphs, it automatically sets a paragraph indent, to ensure that paragraphs can be easily distinguished. This option controls the width of that indent (in em). If you set this value negative, then the indent specified in the input document is used, that is, calibre does not change the indentation.

--smarten-punctuation
    Convert plain quotes, dashes and ellipsis to their typographically correct equivalents. For details, see https://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants

--subset-embedded-fonts
    Subset all embedded fonts. Every embedded font is reduced to contain only the glyphs used in this document. This decreases the size of the font files. Useful if you are embedding a particularly large font with lots of unused glyphs.

--transform-css-rules
    Path to a file containing rules to transform the CSS styles in this book. The easiest way to create such a file is to use the wizard for creating rules in the calibre GUI. Access it in the "Look & feel->Transform styles" section of the conversion dialog. Once you create the rules, you can use the "Export" button to save them to a file.

--unsmarten-punctuation
    Convert fancy quotes, dashes and ellipsis to their plain equivalents.

HEURISTIC PROCESSING

Modify the document text and structure using common patterns. Disabled by default. Use --enable-heuristics to enable. Individual actions can be disabled with the --disable-* options.

--disable-dehyphenate
    Analyze hyphenated words throughout the document. The document itself is used as a dictionary to determine whether hyphens should be retained or removed.

--disable-delete-blank-paragraphs
    Remove empty paragraphs from the document when they exist between every other paragraph

--disable-fix-indents
    Turn indentation created from multiple non-breaking space entities into CSS indents.

--disable-format-scene-breaks
    Left aligned scene break markers are center aligned. Replace soft scene breaks that use multiple blank lines with horizontal rules.

--disable-italicize-common-cases
    Look for common words and patterns that denote italics and italicize them.

--disable-markup-chapter-headings
    Detect unformatted chapter headings and sub headings. Change them to h2 and h3 tags. This setting will not create a TOC, but can be used in conjunction with structure detection to create one.

--disable-renumber-headings
    Looks for occurrences of sequential <h1> or <h2> tags. The tags are renumbered to prevent splitting in the middle of chapter headings.

--disable-unwrap-lines
    Unwrap lines using punctuation and other formatting clues.

--enable-heuristics
    Enable heuristic processing. This option must be set for any heuristic processing to take place.

--html-unwrap-factor
    Scale used to determine the length at which a line should be unwrapped. Valid values are a decimal between 0 and 1. The default is 0.4, just below the median line length. If only a few lines in the document require unwrapping this value should be reduced

--replace-scene-breaks
    Replace scene breaks with the specified text. By default, the text from the input document is used.

SEARCH AND REPLACE

Modify the document text and structure using user defined patterns.

--search-replace
    Path to a file containing search and replace regular expressions. The file must contain alternating lines of regular expression followed by replacement pattern (which can be an empty line). The regular expression must be in the Python regex syntax and the file must be UTF-8 encoded.

--sr1-replace
    Replacement to replace the text found with sr1-search.

--sr1-search
    Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with sr1-replace.

--sr2-replace
    Replacement to replace the text found with sr2-search.

--sr2-search
    Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with sr2-replace.

--sr3-replace
    Replacement to replace the text found with sr3-search.

--sr3-search
    Search pattern (regular expression) to be replaced with sr3-replace.

STRUCTURE DETECTION

Kontrolloi asiakirjan rakenteen automaattista tunnistusta.

--chapter
    An XPath expression to detect chapter titles. The default is to consider <h1> or <h2> tags that contain the words "chapter", "book", "section", "prologue", "epilogue" or "part" as chapter titles as well as any tags that have class="chapter". The expression used must evaluate to a list of elements. To disable chapter detection, use the expression "/". See the XPath Tutorial in the calibre User Manual for further help on using this feature.

--chapter-mark
    Specify how to mark detected chapters. A value of "pagebreak" will insert page breaks before chapters. A value of "rule" will insert a line before chapters. A value of "none" will disable chapter marking and a value of "both" will use both page breaks and lines to mark chapters.

--disable-remove-fake-margins
    Some documents specify page margins by specifying a left and right margin on each individual paragraph. calibre will try to detect and remove these margins. Sometimes, this can cause the removal of margins that should not have been removed. In this case you can disable the removal.

--insert-metadata
    Insert the book metadata at the start of the book. This is useful if your e-book reader does not support displaying/searching metadata directly.

--page-breaks-before
    An XPath expression. Page breaks are inserted before the specified elements. To disable use the expression: /

--prefer-metadata-cover
    Use the cover detected from the source file in preference to the specified cover.

--remove-first-image
    Remove the first image from the input e-book. Useful if the input document has a cover image that is not identified as a cover. In this case, if you set a cover in calibre, the output document will end up with two cover images if you do not specify this option.

--start-reading-at
    An XPath expression to detect the location in the document at which to start reading. Some e-book reading programs (most prominently the Kindle) use this location as the position at which to open the book. See the XPath tutorial in the calibre User Manual for further help using this feature.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Kontrolloi Sisällysluettelon automaattista luomista. Oletuksena, jos lähdetiedostolla on Sisällysluettelo, sitä käytetään automaattisesti luodun sijaan.

--duplicate-links-in-toc
    When creating a TOC from links in the input document, allow duplicate entries, i.e. allow more than one entry with the same text, provided that they point to a different location.

--level1-toc
    XPath expression that specifies all tags that should be added to the Table of Contents at level one. If this is specified, it takes precedence over other forms of auto-detection. See the XPath Tutorial in the calibre User Manual for examples.

--level2-toc
    XPath expression that specifies all tags that should be added to the Table of Contents at level two. Each entry is added under the previous level one entry. See the XPath Tutorial in the calibre User Manual for examples.

--level3-toc
    XPath expression that specifies all tags that should be added to the Table of Contents at level three. Each entry is added under the previous level two entry. See the XPath Tutorial in the calibre User Manual for examples.

--max-toc-links
    Maximum number of links to insert into the TOC. Set to 0 to disable. Default is: 50. Links are only added to the TOC if less than the threshold number of chapters were detected.

--no-chapters-in-toc
    Älä lisää automaattisesti havaittuja lukuja sisällysluetteloon.

--toc-filter
    Remove entries from the Table of Contents whose titles match the specified regular expression. Matching entries and all their children are removed.

--toc-threshold
    If fewer than this number of chapters is detected, then links are added to the Table of Contents. Default: 6

--use-auto-toc
    Normally, if the source file already has a Table of Contents, it is used in preference to the auto-generated one. With this option, the auto-generated one is always used.
