# Publicate!

Publicate is a GTK4 + LibAdwaita application that aims to make it easy to create, edit, and publish Portable Publications (PPUBs).

It is still a work in progress, and also depends on some of my other home grown projects including [LibPpub](https://git.sr.ht/~tilo15/libppub) for PPUB handling, [GtkCommonMark](https://git.sr.ht/~tilo15/GtkCommonMark) for displaying MarkDown, and [Invercargill](https://git.sr.ht/~tilo15/Invercargill) for handling lists and sequences.

## What works

- Creating a new PPUB.
- Opening an existing PPUB for editing.
- Adding existing files into a PPUB.
- Deleting files from a PPUB.
- Updating PPUB metadata.
- Editing markdown files within a PPUB
- Editing plain text files within a PPUB
- Spellchecking
- Editing PPVM (PPub Video Manifest) files.
- Guided creation of PPVM based PPUBs (PPUB files containing video).
- Templates for selecting a publication licence and copyright messages.
- Save as
- Easily open multuple instances

## What is still to come

- Button tooltips
- Guided link and image insertion in the markdown editor.
- Templated creation of files that don't already exist in a PPUB.
- System file association for PPUBs
- Updating the PPUB `date` metadata automatically on all saves (currently only updates when metadata is saved).
- Drag and drop files into PPUB
- Format editing for link text
