Description: OpenAccess_EPUB is a program for converting OpenAccess Academic Journal
        articles into the ePub format.
        
        OpenAccess_EPUB is currently being developed at a core level. In the course
        of recent revisions I have been focusing on finalizing robust PLoS support.
        After work on PLoS has reached a level of easily-maintained completion, I will
        likely turn some attention towards Frontiers, eLife, and other OpenAccess
        publishers.
        
        Getting Started
        ---------------
        To get started with OpenAccess_EPUB, one should download the source code and
        then navigate to the top-level directory in the source code. Then install the
        program with Python3 (the program's officially supported Python version). The
        command shown below may or may not work verbatim, replace "python3" with the
        appropriate link to the Python3 executable.
        
        For Linux users:
        
        `sudo python3 setup.py install`
        
        For Mac and Windows, enter:
        
        `python3 setup.py install`
        
        Windows systems may require additional configuration (see the wiki).
        
        The next step is to execute OpenAccess_EPUB's configuration script. This will
        allow one to define some helpful default behavior.
        
        `oae-quickstart`
        
        Using the configuration script with the "-d" flag will automatically generate
        the system configuration file with all default values. It should inform you of
        where the config file is located for inspection.
        
        Now you are prepared to use OpenAccess_EPUB's main script "oaepub". The
        following command would instruct OpenAccess_EPUB to convert the article.xml
        file into an ePub file.
        
        `oaepub -i my/article.xml`
        
        Many more options are available as command line flags, and you can learn more
        about them by executing:
        
        `oaepub --help`
        
        How to Contribute
        -----------------
        If you would like to contribute to the project, there are many ways to do so. 
        If you know Python and would like to assist in development, contact me and we 
        can discuss how you may help. Feedback regarding bugs, presentation, formatting,
        and accessibility are all quite valuable.
