Not enough options? Can you give us a list of what you think is missing (other than the ones that have been stated such as images, notes, and footnotes). Remembering the target is text books, not illustrated books. What is simplistic, as opposed to simple (Which it is definitely trying to be)? There is some pretty sophisticated XHTML being generated under the skin. |

No, it's free for non-commercial uses. That's not free.
Again, read the thread. EDIT: Oh one more thing... this whole debate about the embedded advertisement is now completely moot since they removed it in the latest version. Last edited by Valloric; 02-28-2009 at 04:21 PM. |

You are saying that the target is text books not illustrated books. Does that mean that you don't want add image support in the future? Illustration seems to be very important (at least for me) - especially because ePub is a so called "rich format" with a lot of possibilities. |

Any chance to make eScape work with Office 2003? I don't have Open Office nore do I plan on installing it. Thanks.
Does eScape allow font embedding? Last edited by JSWolf; 02-28-2009 at 07:14 PM. |

We will evaluate including images. There are complications with how OO handles images in XHTML, exports as Base64 and sizes them proportionally to a 96dpi version of the OO page. The result is the image is probably too small. We didn't want to hold the app back while wrestling with this problem.
So one solution is a bit ugly. We can use an image paragraph style, which then has the filename in it, and you have to have the image file in the input location. We then have to handle title/alt text for ePub validity as well. Maybe we will do both. But the answer to the $100 question is, not sure when we will get around to it. |

eScapt to Microsoft Word compatibility? I doubt it can be done easily using the same techniques since MS don't support XHTML anywhere in any product (including their browsers). Their exported HTML is a mess as others have testified, and even their new XML format is a screwball mess. However the fact is, in the same way you don't want to install OO, we don't want to blow money on MS Office. So I guess the answer is no, not from us.

I have never used Open Office.
I scanned the page of portable version but cannot understand the difference between standard version and portable. Most likely I missed something obvious, silly me. |
