This script attempts to dump a book from the server and load it into a
development database.
1. You need to download this script onto the server, e.g. staging08.cnx.org,

The following are commands in neb in PRs right now. This is not how the textbook developers will create a pdf. The textbook developers will use scripts in cnx-recipes as they have been doing before. We will change the scripts to use neb under the hood.

  1. Download the "Introduction to Business" book from production using neb get:

    neb get prod col25734 1.8.5

CNX Pipeline

Broadly speaking, there are 2 parts to generate pdfs:

  1. cnxml -> single html

    1. module cnxml files -> module html files
    2. module html files -> epub -> one single html file

  2. single html -> pdf
