HTML Meta tag for cover image URL?
To save me manually entering in data every time I do a revision (and hence mistakes!), I put all the various meta data fields into my HTML for our eBooks.

Unfortunately I cannot as yet seem to find a field that'll let me set the URL for Calibre to use for the cover image.

eg, I try the two below without any success - does Calibre even have a meta tag that it reads for the cover image?

Quote:
<meta name="title" content="Before the Dawn" />
<meta name="series" content="Tree of Life" />
<meta name="cover_url" content="/home/pld/tol-before-the-dawn.png" />
<meta name="cover" content="/home/pld/tol-before-the-dawn.png" />
<meta name="generator" content="http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/"/>
<meta name="create-date" content="2012-01-28"/>

There is no way to specify cover from an html file.

Hello Kovidgoyal,

Okay, would I be able to manipulate the python source to add in such a facility? eg, somewhere in /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks ... html ?

Thank you - I sincerely appreciate that information.

If I manage to make it work correctly - would you like me to submit a feature-patch submission?
