Author showing up "Unknow" on epub for Nook
Hi,

I created an epub (3.0) for a client using InDesign CS6, everything has worked out fine except I can't seem to get the Author's name to show up on the Nook.

It shows up as "Unknown"; what metadata tag do I need to add/adjust in Dreamweaver (I'm using a Mac and can't use Sigil) to edit the tags so the author's name shows up?

Currently, in the content.opf I have the <dc:creator> filled in with the author's name, but to no avail.

Thanks,
Chris

The General Discussion Fourm is not a place to discuss issues with epub.

Your thread has been moved to the epub forum.

Please take the time to review our site.

Sigil version 0.7.4 should work just fine on a Mac.

Are the Nooks you are creating for epub 3 devices or epub2 devices?

I understood only Apple stuff was 3.0 and not all of 3.0 either.

<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Lewis Carroll</dc:creator> should work.

Look in our wiki https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPub#OPF or https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/OPF

You can use tweak EPUB found in our wiki to fix the opf file directly using a simple text editor.
