Library for parsing and building EPUB3 files for connexions content.

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04, packages needed: sudo apt install build-essential python-dev python3-dev libicu-dev python3-venv

Optional (Python3 virtualenv):

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -U pip setuptools

To install:

pip install git+https://github.com/openstax/cnx-cssselect2.git#egg=cnx-cssselect2
python setup.py install

Either of the following will work:

python setup.py test
python -m unittest discover

To enforcing order of contents, we use the navigation document rather than the Open Packaging Format (OPF), which supports a spine element that aids in epub reader in navigation order. The Connexions library does not use the spine for order. A navigation document is the authority on order of contents and which contents are document like. Anything not included in the navigation document is considered a resource.

Collections are easy because they will be sent across as individual OPF entries that contain the collection tree as navigation documents. In the case of publishing module documents without a collection, the navigation document will be flagged as a non-document item.
