I am using ebook-convert to convert HTML files to EPUB format, and I'm trying to use the --authors option to add the author.

The conversion works well, but when I add the epub files to Calibre library it says that the author is unknown.

The thing is I am not sure how to specify a value for an option in ebook-convert, so I am probably doing it wrong.

I tried so far:

ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors Author
ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors "Author"
ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors=Author
ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors="Author"

I am using Calibre 2.1.5 64bits on Windows 7.

Thank you very much.
