Hi everyone,

 

Just to add, we have a web app created by our developer, Jason, that converts OpenStax OER into Pressbooks XML format. The app also grabs the images and renames them to be seamlessly importable into Pressbooks.

 

You can obtain the code for the app at this GitHub repository, or try it out on the apphub. The conversion app, as of the writing of this email, is still in a state tailored to the specific project (Physics) for which it was developed.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to import OpenStax University Physics Volumes 1 and 2 into Pressbooks like you did with the College Physics book?
