that's the sort of info I was hoping for, thanks - I thought it likely that not all options apply to all formats but there noes not seem to be any detailed documentation.
I still find it strange that there is no "update metadata" option & that a full conversion ( i.e. all content going into & out of an intermediate HTML ? ) is needed just to update metadata within a format.
To make an analogy with music formats that I work with a lot; I can change any MP3 metatdata via a tag editor, I don't have to unencode & reencode the MP3 audio data in order to add cover art, lyrics etc to the mp3 container.
PS do the concepts of "header" & "footer" even apply for e-readers which use mobi & epub ?
you would not normally want headers & footers on an e-reader screen , & if they were to appear, the device firmware would surely have to manage their placement . I can change font size within KIndle after sending the mobi files to it, thus Kindle itself is handling pagination on-the-fly ?
