It is crucial to know how this page works as it is counter intuitive compare to other pages. The point is how you offer your contents to the reader. And then, the reader constructs the reading environment.
Currently, there is 2 ways to put a book into the reader. The first is use the open directory button to scan the directory for parse-able contents. Second is import via spider script, which is also described in the dedicated section.
There are samples under the wenku10-samples project. Please find the file "10000.サンプル.txt" under the ja folder. ( Note: Since this was an app originally made for language that could be written vertically. It is best to use a file that represent those but I will explain the structure here. Horizontal layout is scheduled. )
Press the open directory button. Select the folder that contains parse-able text files.
After the directory is chosen, sooner or later ( depends on how many files were there ). Files will show up. By clicking the item. The parse process will start immediately.
If the parse is a success. It is denoted with a check mark. Congratulations, you can start reading now! Please go on to the Book Info page.
Some files are not parse-able. By clicking it, you will be directed to the source view. ( You can read here, in the end this is just an ordinary read only-notepad, but note that there will not be any feature available )
Importing spider script is easy. Just click the spider action -> import Spider. Then a book item will be automatically made with a spider icon on it. Clicking it will fire up the spider procedure. Which was just a fancy way to say parsing. Anyway, the results are the same. You can then head on to the book info view page.
Yet the sample scripts can also be found under wenku10-samples project. For script making. Please go to the Spider section.
The bookshelf is just a marking that marks the basic book info and save it into a file. The file could then be synced to OneDrive. And even if the source does not exists. This item will persist until you manually unset it.
To "put an item to bookshelf", simply just right click an item. Then click add to bookshelf then you are done! The item will have a heart shape and a tilted rectangle resembling a favourite book.
