Class Method Details

.after_publish(document) ⇒ Object

Supports:

  • Change file, filesystem once written

  • Automatic cleanup of intermediate files, including all edge cases currently covered by transformation library. (For example, if I generated a CSS file but am ultimately generating a PDF, I would want to have an automatic way to delete that CSS file.)

Use cases:

  • Zip set of documents into ePub and create manifest

  • Change file extension

  • Generate PDF from emitted HTML and get rid of intermediate files

  • Generate .doc (or any other OO UNO format) and get rid of intermediate files

NOTE: Unlike the other two callbacks, this doesn’t use the result of 

the callback expression for anything. This callback is purely for 
side effects like rearranging the file system.
