-# Fanfix
+# Program
-Fanfix is a small Java program that can download stories from some supported websites and render them offline.
+Small description.
-It will convert from a (supported) URL to an .epub file for stories or a .cbz file for comics (a few other output types are also available, like Plain Text or LaTeX).
+## Synopsis
-To help organize your stories, it can also work as a local library.
+- `program --help`
-In this mode, you can:
-- Import a story from its URL (or even another file)
-- Export a story to a file (.epub or .cbz)
-- Display a story from the local library in text format in the console
-- Display a story from the local library graphically **by calling a native program to handle it** (though Fanfix can automatically process it into HTML so any browser can open it)
+## Description
-## Supported websites
+Long description multiple paragraphs are ok.
-Currently, the following websites are supported:
-- http://FimFiction.net/: fan fictions devoted to the My Little Pony show
-- http://Fanfiction.net/: fan fictions of many, many different universes, from TV shows to novels to games
-- http://mangafox.me/: a well filled repository of mangas, or, as their website states: most popular manga scanlations read online for free at mangafox, as well as a close-knit community to chat and make friends
-- https://e621.net/: a Furry website supporting comics, including MLP
+## Options
-## A note about file support
+- **--help** (or **-h**): information about the syntax
-We support a few file types for local story conversion (both as input and as output):
-- epub: .epub files created by this program (we do not support "all" .epub files, at least for now)
-- text: local stories encoded in plain text format, with a few specific rules:
- - the title must be on the first line
- - the author (preceded by nothing, "by " or "©") must be on the second line, possibly with the publication date in parenthesis (i.e., "By Unknown (3rd October 1998)")
- - chapters must be declared with "Chapter x" or "Chapter x: NAME OF THE CHAPTER", where "x" is the chapter number
- - a description of the story must be given as chapter number 0
- - a cover image may be present with the same filename as the story, but a .png, .jpeg or .jpg extension
-- info_text: contains the same information as the text format, but with a companion .info file to store some metadata (the .info file is supposed to be created by Fanfix or compatible with it)
-- cbz: .cbz (collection of images) files, preferably created with Fanfix (but any .cbz file is supported, though without most of Fanfix metadata, obviously)
-
-## Supported platforms
+### Supported platforms
Any platform with at lest Java 1.6 on it should be ok.
-If you have any problems to compile it with a supported Java version (1.5 won't work, but you may try to cross-compile or change the Bundle.java class from the utilities; 1.6 and 1.8 have been tested and work), please contact me.
-
-## Usage
+It has been tested on Linux (xxx), and YYY (yyy), but feel free to inform us if you try it on another system.
-You can start the program in CLI mode:
-- ```java -jar fanfix.jar```
+If you have any problems to compile it with a supported Java version (1.6+), please contact us.
-__TODO__: offer a GUI mode (work in progress)
+## Compilation
-The following arguments are allowed:
-- ```--import [URL]```: import the story at URL into the local library
-- ```--export [id] [output_type] [target]```: export the story denoted by ID to the target file
-- ```--convert [URL] [output_type] [target] (+info)```: convert the story at URL into target, and force-add the .info and cover if +info is passed
-- ```--read [id] ([chapter number])```: read the given story denoted by ID from the library
-- ```--read-url [URL] ([chapter number])```: convert on the fly and read the story denoted by ID, without saving it
-- ```--list```: list the stories present in the library and their associated IDs
-- ```--set-reader [reader type]```: set the reader type to CLI or LOCAL for this command
-- ```--help```: display the available options
+Just run `make`.
-### Environment variables
+You can also use those make targets:
-Some environment variables are recognized by the program:
-- ```LANG=en```: force the language to English (the only one for now...)
-- ```CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.fanfix```: use the given directory as a config directory (and copy the default configuration if needed)
-- ```NOUTF=1```: try to fallback to non-unicode values when possible (can have an impact on the resulting files, not only on user messages)
-- ```DEBUG=1```: force the DEBUG=true option of the configuration file (to show more information on errors)
+- `make jar`: build the jar file
+- `make sjar`: build the source jar file
+- `make doc`: build the Doxygen documentation (`doxygen` required)
+- `make man`: build the man page (`pandoc` required)
+- `make install PREFIX=/usr/local`: install the program into PREFIX (default is `/usr/local`) and the manual if built
+- `make uninstall PREFIX=/usr/local`: uninstall the program from the given PREFIX
+- `make clear`: clear the temporary files
+- `make mrpropre`: clear everything, including the main executable and the documentation
+- `make test`: build the unit tests (`check` required)
+- `make run-test`: start the unit tests
-## Compilation
+## Author
-```./configure.sh && make```
-
-You can also import the java sources into, say, [Eclipse](https://eclipse.org/), and create a runnable JAR file from there.
-
-### Dependant libraries (included)
-
-- libs/nikiroo-utils-sources.jar: some shared utility functions I also use elsewhere
-- [libs/unbescape-sources.jar](https://github.com/unbescape/unbescape): a nice library to escape/unescape a lot of text formats; I only use it for HTML
-
-Nothing else but Java 1.6+.
-
-Note that calling ```make libs``` will export the libraries into the src/ directory.
-
-## TODO
-
-Currently missing, but either in progress or planned:
-- [ ] A GUI (work in progress)
- - [x] Make one
- - [x] Make it run when no args passed
- - [ ] Fix the UI, it is ugly
- - [ ] Work on the UI thread is BAD
- - [ ] Allow export
- - [ ] Show a list of types
- - [x] ..in the menu
- - [ ] ..as a screen view
- - options screen
-- [ ] A TUI reader
-- [ ] Check if it can work on Android
-- [ ] Translations
- - [x] i18n system in place
- - [x] Make use of it
- - [x] Use it for all user output (some WIP remains)
- - [ ] French translation
-- [ ] Allow lauching a custom application instead of Desktop.star ?
- - [ ] Make a wrapper for firefox to create a new, empty profile ?
