Which is the case where I work st_albert. The books are already Quark and InDesign.
Nice work Marcus.
This should help a few InDesign users.
A bit more about adding the metadata to the InDesign file for export to ePub. If anyone was wondering how it is entered - here's how. After creating the chapter files and adding them to a new book. Select the file you created all your paragraph and character styles from the book window.
With that file open select FILE INFO from the FILE menu and add the title, author, copyright data etc. It will export that data to the content.opf file in the ePub as metadata. As mentioned above you'll need to edit the <dc:date /> because CS3 & 4 don't have a field to enter it and the ePub wont validate without it.
Ensure your source file with the info and styles in it has been checked in the style source box in the book window before exporting.
