I am submitting my first file in RST format to EPUBMaker online. I'm doing this as practice, to make sure I understand how the RST format works before spend a lot of time doing it wrong on a whole book. The only output I got was this: http://epubmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20120324100528/output.txt It seems that my family tree tables, and I've got lots of them, are being interpreted as incorrectly formatted tables. I thought that if you used two colons (::) to start a <pre> section that it would ignore anything it found inside there. I understood that the <pre> section would include any text that was indented and would end when the first line of unindented text was found. It looks like that doesn't work. You can look at what I submitted here: http://epubmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20120324100528/ If I can deal with the family tree diagrams somehow formatting the rest of the book should be OK. Thoughts?

The docs say that a literal block is a paragraph containing two colons. "Paragraph" would imply a following blank line. Try putting a blank line after the "::" Al -----Original Message----- From: gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org [mailto:gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org] On Behalf Of James Simmons Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2012 10:19 PM To: Gutenberg Volunteers Subject: [gutvol-d] Problems with family trees in epubmaker I am submitting my first file in RST format to EPUBMaker online.

Even if you get it working, it will be a mess on small screens. Why not use images instead? First of all you need an encoding line in the first line. Then, you are doing this: :: Kâla causing disturbance in the equilibrium of Karma Gunas. Svabhâva. which should be this: :: Kâla causing disturbance in the equilibrium of Karma Gunas. Svabhâva.
