  2. Make a couple minutes worth of edits. Some suggestions:
  3. Save your changes. Click "Save All" which should be blue. It will turn gray when the changes have been saved.
  4. See your book in different formats. Note that these are very alpha versions and the formatting isn't beautiful yet. 

Stuff for later if you want to see more

  1. More edits. Some suggestions:
  2. See your book in different formats.
    1. WEB:
      • Go to http://<your-github-id>.github.io/sf-demo-book to see the edits that you made. For example, if you are oerpub21, you would go to http://oerpub21.github.io/sf-demo-book. This sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes to show up. 
    2. PDF: Setting up your own book to autogenerate a PDF (do this later if you are interested).
      • Go to your repository on github. http://github.com/<your-github-login>/sf-demo-book/settings/hooks.
      • Select "WebHool URLs"
      • Enter http://pdf.oerpub.org
      • Click Test Hook
      • Open http://pdf.oerpub.org to download your book
    3. EPUBs: The books are stored in EPUB format on github and you can almost just download the zip and view it with Readium (an in-browser EPUB reference implementation reader done by IDPF). If you want to give it a try, download the zip of the sf demo repo. You have to do two things to make it work with Readium.

      1. Unpack the book and remove the second book from container.xml
      2. Rezip just the contents of the folder demo-book-master, rather than zipping the folder itself.
      3. You should now be able to view the book using the Readium Chrome extension.
