For such hand-crafted EPUBs the tool epubcheck comes in handy for making sure that you've done everything correctly.
If that's not your style and you don't mind waiting a bit, Kovid's started work on giving calibre support to properly wrap raw HTML/OEBPS content into an EPUB book. It's not available yet, but will be eventually.
I also know Adobe InDesign can output EPUB, but I'm not sure what else yet. |
My knowledge of XML, HTML and such is next to zero. I know nothing about coding.
I know how to use GUI in Book Designer
Whatever Kovid is going to create, will be pretty much as automated process as the rest of calibre. I am not saying it is bad. But I wish there was a tool similar to BD where I can edit/tweak book up to my standards.
I will check the links you have provided. Thanks.
