74 | You will need a text editor(optional, useful to strip residual formatting), LibreOffice Writer, Calibre and a PDF viewer. | |
75 | (1) Find the archived threads, CTRL + F the QM tripcode and copy the posts into the text editor, tag the beginnings and endings of threads somehow. | |
76 | (2) Save as plaintext. | |
77 | (3) Open in LibreOffice, apply formatting, use the Headings and Title functions to distinguish between threads. | |
78 | (4) Save one ODT and one HTML version in a folder with the Quest's title. | |
79 | (5) Export as PDF, save the result in the same folder. | |
80 | (6) Open Calibre, Click [Add Books], wait till the import is done, then [Convert Books] and choose MOBI and EPUB. | |
81 | (7) Complete folder and compress. | |
82 | (8) Upload to a DDL host. | |
83 | (9) Post. |
