Reply To: Importing XHTML Files

David Blomstrom: I’ve the feeling, that you do not understand what is going on here! So:

1. InDesign is a program for layout, not for HTML by default
2. You can do some things in InDesign and EXPORT the content as html or epub, you cannot realy IMPORT HTML as complete pages.
3. While InDesign generates good html, it creates poor css
4. You can open the exported epub in different programs. Some are only for viewing, some are for editing
5. BBEdit is a texteditor, not an epubeditor! So everyhting must be done by hand!
6. If you crack up a epub with eCan-Crusher, you can add your xhtml-files, BUT you must also set a reference in the content.opf-file!
7. If you use programs like SIGIL or Calibre, those entries will be set automatically

btw: If you work with Dreamweaver, there is no need of creating EPUBs with InDesign. You can import the files directly e.g. in SIGIL and create the xml-structure for the book.
