My usual workflow is:
PDF -> OCR -> EPUB -> Tweak + Complete EPUB.
When a book needs to not just be converted, but copyedited (changing from British Spelling -> American, etc. etc.), these extra steps get tacked on:
Tweaked/Completed EPUB -> Convert/Import to DOC(X)/ODT -> Copyediting -> Export DOC(X)/ODT to EPUB -> Tweak + Complete (Copyedited) EPUB.
So I am already inputting a perfectly completed/marked up EPUB. Perhaps I am just not understanding you correctly? Are you saying:
- Do an extra manual pass in Word after the Import, in order to change all blockquote paragraphs to a "Blockquote" style in Word? Then after I can export BACK to EPUB, I can easily see what is a blockquote and what isn't?
... All these fancy Word Processors are definitely not my strong point (I prefer working in straight text/code).
And I am not the one doing the Copyediting, so it might be hard for another person to tell exactly what is what (mistakes can easily be made with just the minor margin top/bottom, and no other way to distinguish blockquote from normal text). With a left margin, that would distinctly offset the blockquotes from the normal text.
Meh, maybe I am just going insane, and doing everything all wrong. That could always be possible.
