The solution is to use Calibre to convert. Then use Sigil to clean up the conversion.

Does EpubSTAR clean up the garbage in Word or do we still have to do it by hand after the conversion?

Seems that nobody mentioned this yet; plain text (.txt) is a bad idea for an e-book. If you plan on manually re-adding bolds and italics yourself, that's a VERY bad idea. It takes a significant amount of mental effort to visually "scan" every paragraph for italics and other styles, and you're bound to miss a few of them throughout the entire book.

There is such a thing as text markup. Project Gutenberg uses text markup so we know where bold & italics belong.
_text_ = italics *text* = bold *_text_* = bold italics |

Perhaps you mean it is difficult to convert the txt into epub with rich format. May, in fact, txt document has not rich format as word document, and Txt-to-EPU is not convenient as Word-to-the EPUB. But EpubSTAR can identifies the chapter headings and sets it to the h1~h6 styles, and it's beautiful too. |

Why does the RAR (should be a ZIP file) file have two installer files? It has setup.exe and an msi file. Both are installers.

@ oxen,
I am not a faint heart, so I have tried your app (latest version 2.6.0.) Unfortunately it does not work with my system: win 7 64 bit home premium. The problem is related to .Net Framework and the error message is, in short: Unhandled exception has occured in your ap.... Value cannot be nul. Parameter name: input. And a few details: Sys Arg NullExcep: value cannot be null... It seems to be linked with regex, but I dont know. Too bad! |

Does the error occurred while starting the software, or generating EPUB? Could you upload the source documents (txt or Word) for my test? |

Oxen,
Thanks for your reply. Indeed, the error occurs while starting the software. Two options are suggested: stop or continue the program. If I continue, the program window is empty and nonfunctional. By the way I use the latest .Net Framework. |
