Step 2: Editing the File Using Nvu

When Blogs2Books is finished you will have an html file that is ready to be converted into a pdf file for printing. However, you may want to tweak the file a bit first. If you are fairly handy with html you may be comfortable editing the file in html directly. For most people, an html editor is much easier. I recommend using Nvu because you can download it for free and it is pretty easy to use.

Some things you may want to edit in your html file:


  • typos

  • adding/removing entries

  • adding/removing pictures

  • adding/removing comments

  • changing colors or fonts on specific words or sections

  • adjusting how pictures and paragraphs line up

    For most users, you can adjust picture placement just by hitting the "Enter" key to add extra space. For html users, you can use the html code <div style="clear:both"></div> at any point to force all other pictures and words to clear out to the line below.
