Uh, yeah, I'd go along with that - no matter what I do to the document once it's in indesign, when I export to epub, it reverts to the original form the text once in when imported. If it started out as plain text, the epub is plain text.

This blows.



from the Big Shop (adobe) itself:

"Still, the XHTML nature and the focus on narrative books means that certain items won't be preserved when exporting ePubs from InDesign."
"The EPUBs exported from InDesign can in some cases comply with the IDPF standards, but won't always be compliant. "
