Hi Luke,
Great work!
I'm just launching a new book and want to have an epub version. The output of writer2epub is not too far off what I want. There are a few things I need to fix though:
** heading link ids get changed to 'headering_id_xx'. This results in the Writer generated table of contents breaking, as the links remain pointing to the writer generated heading ids.
** bookmark links get removed. so 'the table on page 34 shows' becomes 'the table on page shows'. I know page numbers don't apply when epubs are reflowed anyway, but I think keeping the links and the original numbers is the best option as it avoids information loss and allows print and e versions to be used together. I have lots of 'see page ...' so I really need this fixing.
those two above are the issues that affect me the most
** images in frames don't appear when viewing the epub, but are exported. I guess this is fixed by taking the images out of the frames, although that could be a hassle with formating in some cases.
** in my book source file two tables that were directly one after another caused the plugin to crash. putting the first table within a frame, fixed the issue.
I've viewed the epub in fbreader, calibre and lucidor.
I don't know anything about openoffice plugins or BASIC, but I'm an experienced programmer. So I'm going to try and fix these issues myself now as I want to put the file out in the next week if possible (the PDF to epub output from Calibre is quite far from what I need). Any advice or suggestions you could offer would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Joe
