Does anyone know of any epublisher other than PG that *does* distribute the html we provide? Don On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 5:48 PM, Greg Weeks <greg@durendal.org> wrote:

My own experience, which is very old now, is of encountering titles in Palm-compatible formats that had manifestly been derived mechanically from the PG plain-text versions. This is just an anecdotal point, but it matches BB's "eucalyptus" data point.
Another couple of anecdotal points. There are two paper publishers I've worked with a bit. Not recently, but a couple of years ago. Both had scripts to take the plain text and allow them to typeset in a couple of hours. They didn't use the html ever because it threw too many exceptions that required hand input to resolve, and therefore took a lot longer to get typeset. The proofread after to make sure nothing got messed up took longer.
