hey all so I worked with The Icarus Project in the past and have two publications I think would be worth including on The Anarchist Library. I converted them to .html but keep getting the Requested Entity Too Large and file size errors.
The longer book has no graphics; the other book is just 56 short pages with graphics.
Not sure what to do here...
Advice?

Heya, I'd suggest opening the texts in Microsoft Office Word, saving as ".HTM" and seeing if that uploads ok. If it's still too large, you could cut and paste half of the book into a new word document and save the file as "part2.HTM", upload them to , then recombine them after they've been converted into MUSE markup.

There's also a MUSE markup manual that can help guide you through adding the pictures and such to your text: https://amusewiki.org/library/manual

You might also have a problem where your first conversion from PDF to .HTML didn't convert it into text, and only pictures or something, as it's unusual for a text to be so large it can't be converted into .MUSE using the website. But, yeah let me know how it goes, or maybe join the anarchist library matrix live chat to get advice from others: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/webchat

Edit: accidentally deleted a link, I meant to say you could also try uploading them in two parts to https://sandbox.amusewiki.org/action/text/new
