Pressbooks outputs books in multiple formats, including PDF, EPUB, web, and a variety of XML flavours, using a theming/templating system, driven by CSS. Pressbooks is free software, released under the [GPL v3.0 or later](https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks/blob/production/LICENSE.md) license. Our webbooks and EPUB/[PDF](https://docraptor.com/prince "Note: we use the non-free software PrinceXML to produce PDF exports.") exports are all driven by HTML + CSS. XML outputs have no styling. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Pressbooks works with PHP 8.3 and WordPress 6.9.1. Lower versions are not supported. Installing the Plugin --------------------- [](#installing-the-plugin) Pressbooks is not for use on an existing blog. Instead it should be used with a fresh, [multisite WordPress installation](https://wordpress.org/support/article/glossary/#multisite). To install Pressbooks on your site, download the [latest release](https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks/releases/latest) and follow our [installation instructions](https://pressbooks.org/user-docs/installation/). You may want to try [Pressbooks.pub](https://pressbooks.pub/auth) before deciding whether or not you wish to host and maintain your own instance of Pressbooks. We can also [host and maintain an instance of Pressbooks for you](https://pressbooks.com/enterprise/). Contributor guidelines ---------------------- [](#contributor-guidelines) Developers who are interested in contributing to our project should consult our ["Contributing"](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines and the developer guides published on our [documentation website](https://pressbooks.org/dev-docs/). Disclaimers ----------- [](#disclaimers) The Pressbooks plugin is supplied "as is" and all use is at your own risk. ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) file for more information. ### Health Score 72 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance87 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community36 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity98 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
