But you're right, it would be nice to have a tool to semi-automatically create OPF (at least manifest and spine) and NCX files. |
I just searched randomly on the web for an EPUB, and found Jules Verne's
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea from ePubBooks.com.
61 files in 4 subdirectories inside a zip file. (46 chapters, 2 parts, footnotes, title, ncx, opf, etc.) Only one image, and that's the ePubBooks.com logo. All this, and not even a cover!
What's the simplest way to structure an EPUB? Whatever it is, why don't folks do that more?
Back to my current simple (ha!) work...
