Thanks for the quick responses. And, yes, I am not worried about the
TOC -- I have that part working, using a combination of Dreamweaver and eCub, plus some text edit tools to tweak and rezip the resulting .epub file.
After I posted this question I found a discussion by Liz Castro in her blog (
http://tinyurl.com/2537fxa). It's an interesting approach ... and a
lot of work! She discusses the rationale for retaining the print page number values in her epub index entries and provides a link to (draft) material on the
pagelist function.
BTW, her new book (on ePub) has come out, and it is available in ePub format as well as paper. It has already answered another of my 'burning questions' from the book's preview pages: how to do a "keep together" so that a header doesn't appear alone, on the bottom of a page. Yeah. (That was going to be my next post here.)
