I just got my Kindle 2 for Christmas, and am trying to convert ebooks into mobi format on my Linux machine. My understanding is that Kindlegen turns html into mobi.

If this is true, is there any information on what tags in html are translated into equivalent tags in mobi?

Most importantly I am interested in tags for name and title (information the Kindle seems to use when creating the Home library). What tags in html would be translated into name and title for the mobi?
