Roger is also a 100% linux shop. Well, that may not be entirely true - he probably uses Solarix and various unices. On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 8:26 AM, Marcello Perathoner <marcello@perathoner.de

I don't see any danger of that as long as the new standards are more restrictive than the old ones. And they'd have to be a lot more restrictive to be worth the trouble of implementing them.
Yes, Roger has the converter and his discussion of the changes that need
to be made so the conversion to ePub works properly was very helpful. I used what I learned in that thread in the last 8 books that I have uploaded. But I am working on books right now that I know will not convert properly (based on what I have learned from Roger's discussion). I would like to be able to preview, change the coding and preview again until I find a satisfactory solution.
The sources are online ... But me being a 100% linux shop and ibiblio being a 100% linux shop and with 99% of you wanting a windows software somebody has to take the time and port it.
OTOH the converter is just one link in the chain. You'd also have to test the ePub on every reader out there.
Its much easier to forget about fancy formatting and use only the simplest HTML constructs.
