Global Privacy Settings

• Private books can only be viewed by the administrator of a book and users the administrator has added to the book. Setting a book’s global privacy to private overrides chapter-level privacy settings (meaning that public chapters in a private book are treated as though they were private).
• Public books can be viewed by anyone with the URL. When a book’s global privacy is set to public, you can adjust the chapter-level privacy to control which of your book's chapters are shown in the webbook and which are only visible to book administrators and users with the necessary permissions to view private content.

1. Click Organize on the left-hand menu of your book’s dashboard
2. Select “Public” or “Private” in the Global Privacy box at the top of the page

Tips

• The search is case sensitive. This means that in order to ensure that you find every instance of a word, you may need to run a search and replace several times (once all lower case, once with the first letter capitalized and once in all caps).
• Every instance of your search term will be found, even if it is part of another word. For example, searching for "he said" will also highlight part of "she said", or searching for "book" would also highlight part of "Pressbooks" and change it just the same (see screenshot below).
• If you're searching for something that appears very frequently in your book, the Search & Replace tool may fail or produce undesirable results. In this case, we recommend copying the textual content into a text editor and using its native search & replace functions to modify your text.

Change Your Webbook Cover

1. Design a cover image for your book that is at least 800px tall and which has an aspect ratio (width to height) between .66 and 1. We find that cover images that are 900 pixels wide and 1200 pixels tall (aspect ratio of .75) consistently look great in Pressbooks. You can generate this file using Pressbooks cover generator tool, hire a professional designer, or make one yourself with a free online design tool like Canva.
2. Once you have a cover image you'd like to use for you webbook home page and EPUB exports, enter your book dashboard and select 'Book Info'
3. Scroll down to 'Cover Image'. Click Choose File and locate your book cover file on your computer
4. Click Choose to upload that file into the Pressbooks system and click 'Save' to complete the cover image change.

Create a Marketing Cover for your Ebook Exports

• IngramSpark: File must contain front cover only. Must be a JPG File. All front covers must be RGB. 2560 pixels on longest side. Minimum 1600 pixels on shortest side.
• Apple: The book’s cover art that appears on Apple Books (also known as the marketing image) must be a high-quality JPEG with .jpg or .jpeg extension of PNG with .png extension. The image must use RGB color mode and should be at least 1400 pixels along the shorter axis. For best results, a good rule of thumb is to use an image that is a minimum of 300 dpi. Do not increase the size of a smaller image to meet the minimum image size dimension standard. Excessively blurry or pixelated images will be rejected.
• Kindle Direct Publishing [Amazon]: The ideal size of your ebook cover art is a height/width ratio of 1.6:1. Ideal dimensions for cover files are 2,560 (height) x 1,600 pixels (width). The minimum image size allowed is 1,000 x 625 pixels. Use RGB as the color profile when saving your cover image files. Covers with less than 500 pixels on the shortest side are not displayed on the website.

Create a Print-on-demand Book Cover

• the "PDF interior" file (the inside pages of the book, which Pressbooks produces)
• a separate PDF file of the cover (which you can produce with Pressbooks' cover generator tool or source elsewhere)

Use the Pressbooks Cover Generator

1. Click 'Export' -> 'Cover Generator' from the book dashboard
2. Adjust your book information. This is automatically imported from what you've entered under Book Info. Changes made here will not be saved to your Book Info page. If you would like to display an empty value for any of these fields, simply enter   in the relevant field.
3. Choose your desired theme (your book cover will inherit the typefaces and design style of the theme you've selected for you book)
4. Upload an image for the front of your cover. This is optional. You can also have a plain cover and specify the background color instead.) Many print on demand suppliers require your cover image to be 300dpi. To ensure that our cover generator is creating covers that meet this requirement, we have added a check during the image upload process that will verify whether your image is large enough to export at the right resolution for your trim size. Before you upload your cover image to the generator, you will need to check that it is the right size. If your image is not large enough, or has the wrong width to height ratio, the uploader will give you an error message with the dimensions your file needs to meet. If you're simply planning to use the cover generator to make an ebook marketing cover (and don't need a cover for your Print PDF export), you can circumvent these restrictions by uploading your desired cover image to your media library before opening the cover generator tool. You can select a pre-uploaded image from the media library rather than uploading a new file, which will bypass the image dimension checks.
5. Check the page count. Pressbooks will automatically fill this field with the page count of your most recent PDF export UNLESS you change it manually. If you change it manually once, it will no longer be automatically updated, so you will have to be very careful to check the page count here before exporting your final cover file.
6. Select your desired colors for the cover's background and text
7. Click 'Make PDF Cover' and/or 'Make Ebook Cover' to generate print and ebook cover files. When complete, the cover files will appear underneath the Download heading, where they can be downloaded or deleted.

Turning an Ebook Cover Into a Print Cover

1. Enter   for the title and author information which typically appears on the front cover
2. Fill in the desired information (spine) fields and the 'About' section that appears on the back cover
3. Upload your ebook cover as the Front Cover Background Image

Why Create a Webbook?

Search the Directory

Some metadata facets can be searched explicitly via the search bar through the use of a specific prefix. Fields which support this feature include subject (subj:'query'), language (lang:'query'), network (net:'query'), and publisher (pub:'query'). If you wanted to find all of the English language books published by the Rebus Community on the Rebus network with a subject containing the word philosophy, you could use the following query: 'lang:English pub:"Rebus Community" net:Rebus subj:philosophy'.

Share Your Search Query

Each specific search query or combination of filters generates a unique URL in the browser bar which encodes the specific query values. Query URLs can be bookmarked, saved, and shared to allow anyone to recreate your specific query at some future time and retrieve dynamic results at the time that they input the URL.

Render LaTeX with WP QuickLaTeX

1. Click 'Plugins' from left-hand menu of your screen
2. Click 'Activate' for WP QuickLaTeX

1. Use the [la​tex] shortcode. A sample expression would look like this: [la​tex]x^2 + y^2 = z^3[/lat​ex].
2. Add a [latexpage] shortcode to the top of your chapter. Adding [latexpage] to the top of a chapter will ensure that everything written in LaTeX syntax will be rendered by WP QuickLaTeX without additional LaTeX syntax delimiters. For example, if you were to input the following:

[latexpage]
At first, we sample $f(x)$ in the $N$ ($N$ is odd) equidistant points around $x^*$:
\[
f_k = f(x_k),\: x_k = x^*+kh,\: k=-\frac{N-1}{2},\dots,\frac{N-1}{2}
\]
where $h$ is some step.
Then we interpolate points $\{(x_k,f_k)\}$ by polynomial
\begin{equation} \label{eq:poly}
P_{N-1}(x)=\sum_{j=0}^{N-1}{a_jx^j}
\end{equation}
Its coefficients $\{a_j\}$ are found as a solution of system of linear equations:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:sys}
\left\{ P_{N-1}(x_k) = f_k\right\},\quad k=-\frac{N-1}{2},\dots,\frac{N-1}{2}
\end{equation}
Here are references to existing equations: (\ref{eq:poly}), (\ref{eq:sys}).
Here is reference to non-existing equation (\ref{eq:unknown}).

Nesting Shortcodes

• [latex] shortcodes can be used inside of [[footnote]] and [[blockquote]] shortcodes
• [[media]] shortcodes can be used inside of [glossary] shortcodes
• [[footnote]] shortcodes can be used inside of [[textbox]] shortcodes

Web

• Use chapters, headings, and subheadings to organize content. In Pressbooks, chapter titles will appear as H1 elements. Use headings of an equal or higher rank to indicate the beginning of a new section, and headings with a lower rank to start a new subsection within the higher ranked section in which it occurs. Use headings in descending rank order (beginning with H1 and descending through H6, if needed) and avoid skipping heading ranks whenever possible (don't jump from an H2 to and H4, for example).
• Determine whether each image you include has a functional or purely decorative role. Add alternative text to functional images that clearly describe the content.
• Check the colour contrast for any images/figures included with your text and whenever using a shaded or coloured background with text.
• When using links to other web content, include descriptive link text for the link. The link text should  describe the content of the link; "our guide chapter on Navigation" is better than "click here" or "read more" as link text. If you are linking to non-web content (file downloads, for example) or causing a link to open in a new tab or window, consider telling the user this in the link description.
• When using tables, provide properly tagged table titles/captions and table headers/footers where appropriate, and avoid using merged or split cells wherever possible.
• Include captions and/or transcripts for any multimedia you include with your text.
