Hi there,

This thread is really interesting and I've spent some time experimenting myself. Jeldrik wrote, “… even if the page number is not a master page item anymore – it will not get exported. (The frame will but without content). The text variable will get exported to ePub.”

Once I've overridden the master page items on all the pages, as Jeldrik writes, it will not get exported… the frame will, but not the content (unless I've included the word “page” in which case that text will export, but not the variable text). So I'm not sure how to get to the next sentence of “The text variable will get exported to ePub.”

Any thoughts. I'm using the variable text in Type Menu… Insert Special Character… Markers… Current Page Number.

Thanks for everything so far!

I scale tall portrait images to a smaller percentage of the screen so as to create enough space for the caption. It's not a great solution and the iPad has a much shorter page than the Kindle Fire, say, but it usually works. I often create a page-break-before the image if more than one image is sneaking onto the page and cropping the second caption.
