Participantwe are using a text editor to hand code, my guys are comfortable in doing it.
The demo book is really amazing!! I didnt think of creating a book like that. Its just GREAT.
Will it be possible to share your knowledge on how to create hotspot in SVG file and incorporating it in EPUB.
May be let us create a seperate thread on this so that others can follow very easily.
Can we also have a seperate forum on EPUB, is it beyond the scope of this forum by any chance?.

ParticipantThanks for your help AM. Its really disappointing that ID5.5 doesnt allow to export multi column format to epub. I'll hand-code the format. I use the following code in css to get multi column format. It may be useful for others.
div.left{
-moz-column-count:2;
-webkit-column-count:2;
column-count:2;
}
div.right{
float:top;
height:25%;
}
As far as the walrus web id is concerned, sorry for not giving the correct website address, it is https://www.walrus-books.com and just scroll down till you get demo3 video on epub. The embedded video code is https://vimeo.com/25185473 Not sure what s/w walrus guys have used to develop this wonderful demo. I really appreciate the hardwork and thought put in developing such a nice demo which sets the standards for guys like me. The interactive map is really gr8, looks like they've done it in js, not sure though.
I still havent looked in to DW5.1 will give a try sooner
The EPUB market is growing like a banyan tree, and knowing apple for their innovative products i'm sure every developer will start developing epub3 compataible device soon.
Thanks for your spending your valuable time on this.
Participanti agree that ID cant do everything when it exports to epub. I'm just wondering is there any way out to get multi column format through indesign so that i can save some time while tweaking my css styles. I understand that Indesign retains the paragraph stylesheets when it exports to epub, so that only i created multi column format through split. On top of all these we are discussing about multi column format in epub with-in 'indesign secrets' forum.
Participantthanks AM you got the point. Yes, i'm talking about 3pub 3.0 format.
I've seen the walrus videos on rich-content epubs and was quite impressed with their multi column layout. I'm developing a portfolio for my company, thought it will be nice to adopt the same technology through ID.
I've people who can write CSS3 codes manually to get the multi column format, but its tedious. Whenever i do a change in my ID file and re-export it to epub i need to edit the css file and code it again and its frustrating to do this task everytime.
Your reply on sharing the technique will be greatly appreciated.
Participantwell, not exactly, but i still would like to retain some basic formatting and its possible. pl look at https://www.walrus-books.com/20…..epub-file/ before replying.
Thanks for ur reply
ParticipantHi AM
Gone through the videos, unfortunately couldnt find frame formatting to epub. Im working on a design layout and require my two column format indesign to be exported to epub as a 2 column. Tried frame column, split para, but nothing works. Any help?
