ebook-convert cover with "unknown"

hi everybody

Could someone help me.

I want to automate the conversion of my MD-files to EPUB.

When I use: ebook-convert <md-file> .epub, I get the correct preferred default cover, but with the text "unknown" in it. No Title, no Author.
The text of the epub is OK.

thanks in advance, webe

Since the .md format has has no metadata you have to provide it yourself, via the --title and --author options to ebook-convert
