Elinares, are you making the source available?

Btw, with the current 0.9.101 when extracting to html, the image tag is preceded by "file:"

Code:

<img src="file:This_Crowded_Earth/3.png"

This breaks the html with some browsers and with FBReader.

Thanx

Current version uses iText library. This library works well for PDF and RTF, but it does not make a good job with HTML. Right now I'm rewriting the Render of HTML, so next version will work significantly better for HTML and EPUB.
So the choice now is taken by iText.
Hope i answer your question,
Eladio

OK. This will be fixed soon.

I've having problems to find an OTF (Opentype font) free to include in LRFTools. EPUB files MUST embed these fonts to work properly. Now I'm working with "AurulentSans", but it is no very good.
Anyone konws a free OTF font?
Thanks, Eladio

AS far as I know, EPUB files dont have to have embedded fonts. In any case google the liberation fonts.

New Version 0.9.105 removes "file:" from img src tag, and now EPUB and PDF files are better converted. EPUB files also can be resized on device.
Enjoy, Eladio

New version v0.9.119.
Some BUGS corrected, and now embedding OTF fonts is optional (you saves about 300K of size) and overwriting existing files is also optional.

Mods, please, is possible to change the title of the thread? I think it is better:

A bug in .119: Chapter headings are duplicated when converting to html. e.g.:

Forward
Forward

Chapter 1
Chapter 1

etc.

Well, really this book has footers. The Sony Reader is able to show them. When converting to HTML, I am confused about how to handle Headers an Footers. Now both are shown one time (what you see is footer and then title). I suppose is better to disable it when converting to HTML, or to make it optional with a new command line argument...

New version v0.9.134 solves more bugs and permit Merging of some epub into one, using TOC to index the new epub.
