Can anybody tell me where\how can I download copies of Ajahn Brahmali’s Vinaya translations in HTML or E-book format?
All I can find on Github are translations by Horner with supplementary translations by Ajahn Brahmali. The translations I’m after are “live” on Sutta Central so it’s hopefully just finding out where they are stored.
Unfortunately, it’s not stored anywhere as html. If you want html, then you need to generate it using the bilara i/o app from the github repository. Would that be something you could do?
I’ve got no idea how to use the bilara i/o app but am happy to learn and have an IT background. Are there any instructions? I’ll share the converted files if I manage to generate the HTML versions.
We do have HTML files that correspond to Ajahn Brahmali’s Vinaya translations, but they are combined with other files to create the pages you see in the SuttaCentral webpage.
Using wget would be one line of code that can be run from the command line that will recursively download all pages from a starting URL. So, that would be simplest. But, as I said, the polite thing to do would be to ask before doing that.
GitHub can take the traffic (which they provide free to open source projects) so that isn’t a concern either, as long as you’re “scraping” the GitHub files and not SuttaCentral.net.
Thanks @dayanbao, @Snowbird and @Khemarato.bhikkhu . As Snowbird said, the links kindly provided by dayanbao are to files in .json format and therefore require conversion into HTML. Apparently the conversion is accomplished using Bilara i\o but the instructions for using it assume a lot of skills (which I don’t have :-/ ). e.g.
I’m comfortable in Windoze but Bhante Sujato assumes a high level of competency in Linux.
I have the tools to scrape the site if necessary but can’t see what that would accomplish as I’ve already got bilara-data downloaded to my PC. Converting .json to HTML remains the hurdle.
Snowbird, it seems you’ve successfully converted .json to HTML and then to .mobi. Are you using Windoze or Linux? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t have time now to explain, but I have for a long time wanted to write up the process Bhante helped me through. I am also on Windows. You have to setup python.
