>Apparently Liz Castro advocates using Adobe's InDesign (shudder) to
generate the HTML to create ePub's and Josh Tallent talks about using
Microsoft Word's "Save as HTML" as the first step, and then cleaning up the
resultant HTML (he goes on to point out that "HTML is a very simple language
to learn").
I suggest checking out Open Office *if* one carefully starts with a new HTML
document in Open Office HTML mode in the first place, and *not* create an
Open Office native format document and then convert that to HTML. Open
Office HTML does *some* goofy things during editing of HTML documents -- but
nothing compared to say MS Word.
