I am just beginning to dip my toes into ebook creation and am not sure whether the outcome I am producing is the "way it is", or because I am doing something wrong.
I exported my first project from InDesign to the epub format. When the document is opened in an ereader (Stanza or Digital Editions) all the text is the style and weight.
When I open one of the html documents produced, all the text styles are converted to paragraph tags to which classes are attached with names that link in some way to the InDesign Style names. There are also spans (<span class="generated-style">) wrapping the inside of every element which appear to serve no purpose at all.
What I would like is to attach html heading tags to my my subheading styles so that I get something a little more semantically correct. And also loose the extraneous spans.
Tips, links, advice for getting up to speed with InDesign and epub would be helpful.
