ePub by hand question
I hope eventually to be able to produce ePub books by hand from XHTML/CSS rather than use a conversion program. At the moment I'm working through a tutorial by that name sent to me by GRiker for which I'm most grateful.
One thing I don't see in the tutorial however is how to set up a cover graphic for the ebook. I know there is one, since the sample book (The Velveteen Rabbit) has one when opened in ADE. So where should I look in the sample files to find out how it was done? Regards, Alex |

Since I create my ePUBs by hand, I'll take the liberty of advising you to take a look at them.

Thanks to both of you for the suggestion. I have been vaguely thinking about looking at what other people do (just like I did with websites) but now I'll get into it properly.
Regards, Alex |
