Blender 3D manual in EPUB format for learning.

This idea can help many users to learn Blender A.P.I. using the format EPUB. This format type is perfect for reading. I think the HTML manual from docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html can be easily converted into an EPUB manual for users. Thank you for help this idea.

I doubt the BF will ever decide to do that, since it's extra work and probably for quite a niche audience 🤔 But who knows!

In the meantime: Maybe your ebokks software manager is able to do the conversion. For example with Calibre :

  • download the docs as .zip format
  • drag the zip file into Calibre
  • convert

It will take a while (these are big docs), and the end result will not be perfect because these manuals are not built as books and use lots of website-specific features that just don't exist in ebooks.
But it should work, and probably can be made better after fiddling with the conversion parameters.

Here's an example made with Calibre's default settings:

Huh, i just noticed, that docs have direct epub download :o.

BTW doesn't most (every?) ebook reader supports HTML, so converting it has no point?
