Re: [NTG-context] EPUB woes

Hi, You do not understand my point. I one uses XML why use ConTeXt. Yet, I one wants to use ConTeXt and do ebooks and they have experience why force them to XML. As I stated the idea use ConTeXt to do the markup with commands that will ensure proper input of HTML5 for making ebooks that will

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB woes

Keith, Maybe you should explore an XML format that can be transformed directly to epub. You'd also be able to write a style sheet with ConTeXt that would out put a PDF as well. I think TEI-Lite is a good starting point. Since you can make your own commands in ConTeXt, it will never be able to int

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB woes

Hi All, I find that the ConTeXt approach to creating the EPub is flawed is a fundemental way! NOT TECHNICALLY. The EPub Standard is a big mess and if you really look at not a true standard in a true sense. Let me explain. 1) The file structure is well documented and properly defines

Hi Bill, Using a PDF as a basis for creating an Epub ebook is actually a lost cause. EPUB is a container format that just wraps around your PDF. I do not know of any ereader that can actually adjust the formatting/layout of a pdf in any significantly useful way. You are stuck with the formattin

Hi All, First off, I do not work with ConTexT, but with Lu(La)TeX. I follow this list looking for pointers. The way I understand how ConTexT produces output for epubs is that it just creates HTML. If ConTexT (or LuaTex) is to produce output for use in epubs it should map the ConTexT structures t
