Pressbooks is a book content management system which allows people to publish webbooks and produce exports in a variety of formats, including EPUB, accessible PDF, print-ready PDF, and various XML flavours.

Pressbooks is built on top of WordPress Multisite, and makes significant changes to:

  • admin interface (customized for books and other structured documents, like magazines, journals, reports, etc.);
  • web presentation layer (again, customized for books and structured documents); and
  • export routines.

Pressbooks is free software, released under the GPL v3.0 or later license.

Pressbooks' webbooks and EPUB/PDF exports are all driven by HTML + CSS. XML outputs have no styling.
