Package: epubr
Version: 0.6.5
Title: Read EPUB File Metadata and Text
Description: Provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of
        internal e-book content from EPUB files. The 'epubr' package
        provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of
        internal e-book content from EPUB files. E-book metadata and
        text content are parsed separately and joined together in a
        tidy, nested tibble data frame. E-book formatting is not
        completely standardized across all literature. It can be
        challenging to curate parsed e-book content across an arbitrary
        collection of e-books perfectly and in completely general form,
        to yield a singular, consistently formatted output. Many EPUB
        files do not even contain all the same pieces of information in
        their respective metadata. EPUB file parsing functionality in
        this package is intended for relatively general application to
        arbitrary EPUB e-books. However, poorly formatted e-books or
        e-books with highly uncommon formatting may not work with this
        package. There may even be cases where an EPUB file has DRM or
        some other property that makes it impossible to read with
        'epubr'. Text is read 'as is' for the most part. The only
        nominal changes are minor substitutions, for example curly
        quotes changed to straight quotes. Substantive changes are
        expected to be performed subsequently by the user as part of
        their text analysis. Additional text cleaning can be performed
        at the user's discretion, such as with functions from packages
        like 'tm' or 'qdap'.
