A practical guide to EPUB: DIY tools and recipes for the common folk (English Edition)

To make e-books, you do not have to be a well-off publisher, a melancholy librarian, or a power user of complex page layout software. A text editor and a ZIP compression utility will do just fine, if not better. There are, of course, details, and this book is all about them.

The book explains how to make an reflowable EPUB from scratch and how to automate this somewhat tedious process.

The discussed topics include:

• the EPUB container;
• what goes into the EPUB;
• all about metadata;
• pitfalls of XML;
• how to generate and number the Table of Contents (TOC);
• equations, code listings, and footnotes.
