If you were starting from scratch with some text and a couple of graphics, how would you (And in what) construct/re-construct a document that was eventually going to be converted to an Epub file?

For what it is worth I design ebooks for Circaidy Gregory Press.

- I get the print version as a Word document,
- turn it into basic HTML documents (usually one per chapter) with Atlantis
- turn the documents into valid XHTML 1.1 documents by hand using an HTML editor - I have a standard CSS file which I modify as required.
- put the documents into an ePub template and edit the content.opf and toc.ncx files as required
- validate the resulting ePub file through FlightCrew and ePubCheck.
