I know this isn't very sophisticated or enterprising, but I just follow convention for the frontmatter, as Alan says, and write it directly myself without using any sort of semi-automated process. This is for printed books. As regards conversion to ebook format, I've done this for several books on Smashwords, but that is quite a long-winded process because it has to be Word.doc format, which I do in LibreOffice (not much fun). Kindle does accept rtf, which would help, but as I'd already made Word.doc files I just used those.
