Hi Toxaris and thanks for the answer.
First of all, I guess the fact that you're answering these questions means that there is no automated tool yet
I googled a bit and
read a bit more. This is what I came up as being "correct" metadata that contains the fields I am interested in :
PHP Code:
<metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Arthur Conan Doyle">Arthur Conan Doyle</dc:creator>
<dc:title opf:file-as="A Study in Scarlet">A Study in Scarlet</dc:title>
<dc:date>1887</dc:date>
<dc:subject>Detective, Crime, Mystery, Novel</dc:subject>
<dc:description>A Study in Scarlet is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new character of Sherlock Holmes, who later became one of the most famous literary detective characters.</dc:description>
<dc:language>en</dc:language>
<dc:identifier id="BookId">urn:uuid:9ef8ecb0-c134-11e2-8b8b-0800200c9a66</dc:identifier>
</metadata>
Does that look to you like correct metadata? I'm specially wondering if I am putting the right stuff in subject and description? I also couldn't find "standard" separators for the subjects?
I will take a look later at the
ePub 2.0.1 specs. I'll try to find a more "to the point" source though!

I guess that means I'll have to use conditional statements, if there's a "cover.jpg", use it as a cover, otherwise, use the first image that appears as the cover. I'll read more about it later as I am under the impression there needs to be an associated xhtml.

Care to develop?
There goes my hope for a "quick" solution!
