I might not be able to help you with an automated output using context, but I
can recommend a very good book on e-book creation. Elizabeth Castro (ISBN
978-0321734686) discusses a sample e-book line by line of the source code, how
to create it, validate it (http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/) etc. You can
find the sources of her sample e-book online at:
http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub/examples/ . There is some other useful
stuff, too.
I just started to implement some of the info I gathered in my context module
for my book project, so I cannot give concrete advise,yet :( But I made the TOC
etc. 'by hand' to to try if it would work with the validator, kindle, calibre
and so on. Just the xhtml was automatically created (and tweaked a little). It
does not take as much time as it seems, we were able to have a validated e-pub
with a sample chapter in a day.
Hope this help a little,
Andy

With
\setupbackend[export=example.xml,xhtml=example.xhtml,css=example.css]
in my project’s environment,
I get both example.xml and example.xhtml (as well as example-images.css
and example-style.css), starting with the same content (up to line 857 in
my case), but the .xhtml stops after the first \stoppart, while the .xml
contains all four parts.
mtxrun --script epub --make example
insists on copying a file named exactly example.xhtml to the ePub tree.
Using
\setupbackend[export=example.xhtml,xhtml=test.xhtml,css=example.css]
both example.xhtml and test.xhtml are identical, complete *and* both
copied to the epub tree (ToC refers to test.xhtml, the other is ignored).
Since none of my browsers or epub readers likes this XML format, I guess I’ll
need to apply a XSL transformation to create HTML.
Ok... Looking at mtx-epub.lua I understand why none of my setups (i.e.
author, title) has any effect on the output.
Seems like we need to fix that manually - unzip the epub, fix it, re-pack...
But create the ToC manually??
