Its an InDesign brochure that I need to convert for Kindle use as a fixed layout EPUB, with TOC and page navigation. Each format has its advantages (features) and disadvantages. In Oxygen (or another editor like TextWrangler when you turn on line numbers) it appears like this. The term eBook is a generic term for various digital formats including PDF, FXL ePub, Reflowable ePub and InDesigns Publish Online and more. Note in the error message shown above that the first error occurs on line 17.
The error message actually points to line numbers in the XHTML code. Ron opened up the InDesign CS5.5-generated EPUB in Oxygen, an excellent XML and EPUB editor. They described it as a WebKit encoding bug. There I was able to show my problem to EPUB gurus Ron Bilodeau of O’Reilly Media and Gabriel Powell. This package was originally forked and re-written based on WCembers Python 2 version, but due to a lack of response has been re-released as a new package to support Python 3. Because the error appeared at the beginning of a chapter, I assumed that the error was at that location.įortunately, I was able to attend and present at the Print and ePublishing Conference last week. Pypub is a Python library to create epub files quickly, without having to worry about the intricacies of the epub specification. More confusingly, the same files worked fine when exported out of InDesign CS5, and passed EPUB validation. For the Page Size, set the Width to 612 px (8.5 in) and Height to 792 px (11 in). I hope that one day these notes will stand as a testament to. Unfortunately, this isn’t yet a simple process. Since most books move through InDesign at some stage, this is likely to be a popular route for many designers and production teams. Deselect Facing Pages to create a single-page layout. There are many ways to create epub files.
in the window that opens, set the Intent to Digital Publishing (or Web if your InDesign version doesn’t have DP available).
But with this error I kind of hit a wall because I had not seen this documented anywhere. In InDesign, go to File > New > Document. I’m a relatively new at working with creating EPUB files, but I’ve learned quite a bit with the help of books like Elizabeth Castro’s EPUB Straight to the Point, Gabriel Powell’s webinars, and Anne-Marie’s videos.
