MOBI -> EPUB: Change cover template?
I would think this would be a straightforward thing, but apparently it isn't.

I want to customize the code that Calibre generates as titlepage.xhtml. In fact, if the cover image's location is always ./cover.jpeg, the code I want to use can be completely static and is totally self-contained; I can manually replace Calibre's file with mine in a converted EPUB in a matter of seconds.

My question is, is there any way to tell Calibre to use my code instead of generating its own, so I don't have to do all those manual replacements?
