edit ok just got it working with the single dot rule using OpenOffice, saving as html and renaming the files to have NO blank spaces, for whatever reason, relative links add special character to replace blank spaces (while full path links dont) which botches the urls. Its still not working with epubs unless ive missed something, but htmls fine for now

thanks for the feedback

If anyone wants to know how to batch rename files to remove spaces, can be done with Irfanview's File > Batch Conversion/Rename feature with following parameters

1) browse to files (top right) and below it choose 'add all' or manually choose
2) (top left) click the Batch rename radio button
3) (middle left) click batch rename settings - options
3a) change the name pattern to $F
3b) click on the first column box of "Replace text (1)"
3c) press the spacebar to add an invisible space
3d) click on the second column box and add an underscore _
3e) choose one of the copy move or rename options below that
4) back in the main UI specify an output directory
5) start batch
