[libreoffice-users] ePub format
Hi :) Someone from the docs team has just experimented quite a bit and written up a really quick wiki-page. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/EPUB I dunno why people insist on using all capitals or putting spaces into urls but i've had trouble in the past with trying to get a consistent naming convention sorted out and it's led to duplicates needing to be merged. I know some people here have experimented with ePub quite a lot in the past so some of you could edit the wiki to add your own findings. Don't worry too much about layout at this point. Content is more important at the moment. There is not much point in going back to earlier versions of LibreOffice = it's the future that is more of interest.

Re: [libreoffice-users] ePub? - direct link from author
I just looked and the linked version was 1.1.10. This link goes to version 1.1.17. It took a few clicks to go to other pages to find the download link from the link given by Daniel. http://lukesblog.it/ebooks/ebook-tools/writer2epub/ Look like I will have to update the version on my NA-DVD site.

Re: [libreoffice-users] ePub?
Even if you use this extension, the results you get depends upon the complexity of the original document. A simple text document ought to convert well. My documents contain text, figures in frames, tables, and two different types of lists. I have to use another program, Sigil, designed to edit ePUB documents to get the results that I want. As an example, the following link contains two files named Introducing Base (ODT file at the top of the list; ePUB at the bottom of it): http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-guide/draft-lo3.4. I did not use writer2epub. Instead, I used Calibre for the conversion from ODT to ePUB and the Sigil to do quite a bit of editing. Both of these programs are open source. (Feel free to download the ODT version of Introducing Base and then use writer2epub to convert it to ePUB. Then compare the difference.) I just did a simple test. I had a simple text document containing only several paragraphs that were first line indented that I converted using writer2epub. The first line indented paragraph style has a setting for the amount of indention, but the conversion did not include this setting. To get really good results converting ODT documents to ePUB, you need to understand styles and xhtml. (The underlying files for a ePUB document are written in xhtml.) It also takes a considerable amount of time to edit the xhtml to give the document the quality you want it to have. --Dan On Thu, 2012-05-03 at 13:59 -0400, webmaster-Kracked_P_P wrote: I do not know if there is a newer version of this extension [yet], but here is a link for it. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/add-ons-extensions/writer2epub.oxt On 05/03/2012 01:30 PM, Daniel A.
