Sir - there comes a time when hubris, arrogance and just plain orneriness, blinds you to the fact, that your bright idea does not work for all needs. There is no way I can use ePub as my master. I have no interest in going over all of that here. However epub does not support pagination and formatting that goes into the PDF version which is based on a word file which pulls from a master document which contains the core text. It does not support the HTML formatting I need, which is also part of another word document which pulls from the same master word doc. That you, and JSWolf, may be unfamiliar with these techniques is not my concern.
Quite frankly, I did not ask you why I am doing this all wrong.
I asked one simple question about how to do something. You and JSWolf seem to have taken it as a opportunity to push your agenda. It is clearly not appreciated by me. That ePub supports drop caps and mobi does not, was already clear to me. I chose to support one format for the ebook versions. That was my choice, and I have no reason to change it.
PeterT's assistance is greatly appreciated.
