Wow, so much valuable information all at once.
Just thank you so much! I appreciate it very much !
I look to summarize the answers to the various questions once.
|| MacOS Books.app is known to convert epubs from zip files to folders silently
I am using Apple Pages so far. To what extent this is related to the said program, I can not estimate. In fact, I have never dealt with the issue. I simply haven't written a book yet.
Everything I am forced to deal with now reminds me very much of the web development area a few years ago. That's my area of expertise. That's where Safari and IE were causing a bunch of problems back then.
This is like déjà vu right now I just want to publish the finished ebook, and ... You guys probably know this even better than I do. It's only taken me a week so far. I don't even want to know what it has cost you guys so far ....
|| You cannot convert this to ePub 2 easily at all because this is a fixed-layout ePub 3
Ok. I'll convert it and see how I get on there.
|| It's actually very easy to convert ePub 3 to ePub 2. But not if it's fixed-layout.
I am very happy to hear that. I'll just see what the different formats look like and then make a template that can continue to update and use. Because apparently, modern formats are not wanted.
|| I'm utterly gobsmacked that any app would think it's a good idea to store its output in a folder named *.epub.
DiapDealer: I tried to import the Word document with your plugin. But it only gives the error:
Status: failed
Launcher: missing or incorrect paths passed in
I got the plugin from Github. What did I miss?
|| Hits macOS users all the time.
Sorry, just like the machine.
|| Convert your Pages file to a Word doc and use Calibre or Sigil to convert that Word file to epub so that you can control creating an epub2 vs epub3.
I have understood that so far. Now I'll see what the difference is from 2 to 3 and then I'll just bring e over manually. Everything else doesn't seem to make sense.
