YanceyLink

[Jim]

I got so excited after reading these posts that I bought GospelLink. Eleven books converted tonight with no problems!

YanceyLink 1.6 is now available.

home.comcast.net/~erichca/YanceyLink.zip

There is also now something of a home page for YanceyLink at home.comcast.net/~erichca

New features in 1.6:
- Now supports creating books out of the Ensign, New Era, Friend, and Liahona magazines included in GospeLink from 1971-1999.

-YanceyLink can now create over 3000 distinct books

- Added complete book + section titling to "Long title" (LN) so when you look at your history you can see the name of the book and the section name.

A quick note--For YanceyLink to create books from the church magazines, you must have the church magazine CD installed. For more information, see the Help->Church Magazine CD in the GospeLink help menu.

YanceyLink 1.7 is now available at:

home.comcast.net/~erichca

**** You must be a registered user of GospeLink 2001 to use this utility. Do not distribute e-books you create using this utility to other people who do not own the GospeLink 2001 library ***

Now creates over 3000 distinct books.

1.7 Fixes & Features
- Now supports the images that are in the GospeLink books in the generated YanCEyWare YBK books. As an example, the Encyclopedia of Mormonism is now converted with images and comes to 7.16 MB.
- Provide more status information as books are being converted.
- Shortened "fn" by using ShortTitle + ": " + Page Title

I have been trying to make this work all week now without any success. The new 1.7 does give me a message that says "request timed out" after it has created the directory structure and written the first two files. I have the latest .net 1.1 installed, both gospel link cds installed to my hard drive, am a registered owner etc.

Any thoughts as to what I may be missing?

sorry about the previous post using Ericha, I am not used to this format.

If you have any suggestions as to the "request timed out" message I am getting in the previous post please let me know. Thanks, - Mike

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why Ericha would be having problems getting Yanceylink to run.

Is there a book in particular you're having problems with?

It seems like I got a message like that with "Articles of Faith". I finally just let it go for a long time. It ended up making the book anyway, but it didn't make the other books I had checked. After I unchecked "Articles of Faith", it made the other 7 or so books I had checked with no problems. Bottom line is, I still got all the books I wanted, so I didn't complain.

Anyway, you might try checking different books and see if that makes a difference.

MikeH: Contact me via e-mail ([e-mail]) and I'll try to help you diagnose this.

YanceyLink 1.8 is now available at:

home.comcast.net/~erichca

**** You must be a registered user of GospeLink 2001 to use this utility. Do not distribute e-books you create using this utility to other people who do not own the GospeLink 2001 library ***

Now creates over 3000 distinct books.

1.8 Fixes and Features
- Now supports the "AHTAG" markup that allows you to add annotations and highlighting to each paragraph of the book.
- This is added via a little superscripted paragraph number at the start of each paragraph.
- I recommend you get the latest version of the YanCEyWare reader which supports hiding and showing the annotation tags (http://www.yanceyware.com/Downloads/YanCEyWare%20Reader%201.8/YanCEyWare%20Reader%201.8.exe).
- Note that we now have a problem--if I continue to improve YanceyLink, it may mean your annotations and links in a book generated with 1.8 will be broken by a book generated by a later version of YanceyLink. Not sure how to deal with this.
