Chapter 1
Introduction
This template is designed to facilitate the export of each book chapter into a
separate HTML page, making it ideal for publishing books, documentation, or lecture
notes in a structured and easily navigable web format.
- Modular Structure: Each chapter is converted into an independent HTML file, improving load times and organization.
- Seamless Navigation: Built-in links (previous/next chapter, table of contents in sidebar) ensure smooth reader navigation.
- Customizable Styling: Supports CSS theming to match your project’s design (e.g., academic, technical, or minimalist).
- E-books / Online Textbooks – Publish course materials with chapter-based access.
- Technical Documentation – Break long manuals into searchable sections.
- Collaborative Projects – Combine multiple authors’ work into a unified web book.
How It Works The template uses TeX4ht, a LaTeX-to-HTML converter, to automate the splitting of .tex files while preserving cross-references, footnotes, and bibliographies.
-
GitHub Actions Integration:
- Automatic compilation triggered on every commit/push to the repository
- Pre-configured workflow handles LaTeX → HTML conversion via TeX4ht
- Build status monitoring and error reporting
-
GitHub Pages Publishing:
- Automatically deploys the compiled HTML output to GitHub Pages
- Creates a publicly accessible website (https://yourname.github.io/repository-name)
- Supports custom domains if needed
-
Continuous Deployment:
- Ensures the online version always matches the repository content
