Plugin Description
Adds an option to the PressBooks import tool named Zip (OpenStax zip file). This new option asks for a link of the OpenStax Zip file. (You can get the link from the downloads section of the OpenStax book you’d like to import.)
Primary Use Case
This plugin was built primarily to support the creation, remixing, and distribution of open textbooks.
Development Sprint
The inspiration for this plugin came from wanting to improve our own process for bringing in OpenStax Textbooks;
a laborious affair. In the fall of 2016 a Development Sprint was held in Houston at Rice University. One of the goals of the sprint
was to be able to find a programmatic solution to the problem of converting equations during the import process. The XSL files
by Vasil Yaroshevich are the key component used to convert equations to something that can be rendered in Pressbooks. While I was only able to
attend the sprint for a couple days remotely, the hard work that other people put into that sprint contributed to this functionality.
