There are two ways to generate e-book content from this source code.
The easiest way is simply to let us do it. A robot is standing by to look for new work on the main branch and automatically build it for everyone. Automatic builds will be linked on atom.io as soon as they are built.
The other way to generate e-book files is to do so manually with Asciidoctor. If you run the following you may actually get HTML, Epub, Mobi and PDF output files:
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake book:build
Converting to HTML...
-- HTML output at atom.html
Converting to EPub...
-- Epub output at atom.epub
Converting to Mobi (kf8)...
-- Mobi output at atom.mobi
Converting to PDF...
-- PDF output at atom.pdf
This uses the asciidoctor, asciidoctor-pdf and asciidoctor-epub projects.
