Transformer documentation: se_tpb_zed2daisy202

Transformer Purpose

This transformer converts a z3986 2005 (type 4) DTB fileset to a Daisy 2.02 (type 4) DTB fileset. It is typically used as one of the last transformers of a Narrator transformer chain.

Input Requirements

The transformer has only been tested with z3986 DTBs created by the Narrator transfomer chain. The current known limitations are:

• The first par of each zed smil file must be a heading (daisy 2.02 style)
• The smil clip of a note must immediately follow the smil clip of the noteref
• No parts of the book may reside in subfolders
• Only one DTBook document (per book) may be used
• The docTitle element in the NCX must have an audio clip
• Only type 4 (full text, full audio) DTBs are supported

Output

On success

A valid type 4 Daisy 2.02 DTB with full skippability (page numbers, sidebars, production notes and foot notes).

On error

No specific recovery scheme. On error, this transformer will send a fatal message, then throw an exception and abort.

Configuration/Customization

Parameters (tdf)

manifest

The manifest file of the input fileset (i.e. the .opf file of the z3986-2005 fileset.

outDir

hrefTarget

The SMIL element (text or par) to target by href URIs in the content document and NCC. Defaults to PAR

Further development

Support for any z3986 2005 book, not just the ones created by Narrator.
