No problem. Progress is slow. 68. Had two eye surgeries this year. One more coming up. Can't stare at the computer for more than 20 minutes at a time now.

My development is way past half way. The hard part is the TOC and I have it, using a recursive read of both the manifest and the spine, building a pair of object hashes in the process.

They only chore left, before RoboEpub3_1.0, is to munge the links a bit, as defined by the manifest, so they work right for main page display with my content management system. The TOC was by far the hardest part.

Predicted highly beta release expected in January. If anyone is.......interested. I am. It's a fun project. I'm looking forward to using this system for my online boat building instructions. Ebooks as digital mirrors of print technology miss the best part.

Books with embedded video, at least in the how-to-do-it genre, are the crest of the wave I think.

=====
A later release will build an epub2 toc.ncx. Perhaps.
