I believe that you want to buy the puts. They act like insurance if the stock drops.

Comment on How to use Ocropus to create HTML Book Scan output by Erik

Hey,
Perhaps the version in 10.04 doesn’t have that feature. Maybe they changed the codebase. I haven’t tried it in a while, so I don’t have an answer for you. Thanks for letting me know, though!

Hey I tried the ocropus on a fresh install of 10.04 but don’t have this book2pages script as part of it. Is that something you wrote yourself??

Using dansguardian with squid, you can replace all instances of “Facebook” with “Foolbook” pretty easy :
in /etc/dansguardian/lists/contentregexplist insert 2 lines

“Facebook”->”Foolbook”
“Foolbook.com”->”Facebook.com”

with this users can still surf facebook.

@Michelle
Very true, Michelle. Glad you liked the post. If you skip the last step, you can combine all the text files like so:

find out -name \*.txt -exec cat {} >> out.txt \;

That should make you an out.txt you can open in Sigil. Hope that helps.

Thanks for this! I’m new to Ubuntu and have been trying very hard to figure out how to use OCRopus. I’m wondering if by skipping the very last line “ocropus buildhtml out/ > book.html” if one would end up with a simple text file? If so, it’s an easy matter to convert to epub using Sigil software.
