Good idea. In fact, I just did a simple keyboard macro to go through the file and export subtrees. Only 12 chapters, so not much of a call for anything more difficult. > > But just out of curiosity, why would you like this for the purpose of > making an ePub book?

Using something like Calibre is what I would normally do. I have also used Sigil to build ePub books from a single html file. It is good since you can add some final editing touches. I got started on it because I was having a look at pandoc which purports to build ePub directly. But it doesn't split the files. Anyway, the (dumb) answer is that I was just fooling around looking at the internals of ePub structure. Trying to avoid real work :-).
