HTML to ePub?

martienne · 08-08-2010, 05:14 PM

If I have a document with complicated formatting that looks good in HTML, will it look good in Epub too?

(The reason I am wondering is that I'd like to know if it's worth spending a couple of hours fixing up a document...?)

Maybe. Remember that an ebook reader shows relatively small pages rather than scrolling text. If your document looks good in a small browser window and uses page breaks as needed there's a good chance it will translate without too many problems.
