August 30, 2014 at 11:39 am in reply to: Indesign CC to Epub 3 with many hyperlinks-not validating #70332
Marty Safir
MemberOn one book I created valid hyperlinks from a list of illustrations to illustrations throughout the book. I didn’t need to create a link from the illustration itself back to the list though. So I didn’t quite do what you are trying to do.
It would seem to me that you could try to create a separate index (the function of which I have not used yet) where the glossary terms then can point to their use in the book. In fact, what if a glossary term appears more than once? What would you even do? Isn’t that where an index comes in?
Good luck.

MemberI’m sort of late to the party here, and I don’t know if you’ve solved this one. I have had success allowing InDesign CC to convert bulleted and numbered lists to ul and ol on export to epub. There are differences in the CSS that ID generates from yours:
li.bullet {
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:disc;
margin-left:24px;
text-align:left;
text-indent:0;
}This doesn’t include all the other CSS properties, just the ones I think that count. The other great thing is upon converting to Kindle using latest Kindle Previewer, all of the lists came out fine for all kindle versions. Well, except for Kindle DX which I wish would just go away. I could not not get that to work right.

I grappled with this myself a while back on a project. My mistake was painting the “trick text” white instead of 0% of black which led to problems. Somehow after much wrangling I made it work. Your solution is a good one. I’ll keep that handy for the future.MemberHi Pooja,
Thanks for your help. I’m trying to automatically center each image above and below as you turn the page. Each piece of art is on an individual page. Is there something I can put in the CSS for this?
So, for example, on a 10 inch tall screen (like an iPad), if an artwork is 6 inches tall, there might be 2 inches above and 2 inches below it. On the next page the artwork is 4 inches tall and there might be 3 inches above and 3 inches below it. It would work proportionately on any smaller screen device.
Let me know if you need further explanation. (I tend to over explain things :-)
Thanks again,
MartyMemberAnybody have any ideas here? Using CSS (or HTML) how can I center top and bottom successive images on a flowing ePub? TIA for any help.
MemberRami, from my very humble place in the ePub universe, I’d say it’s extremely relevant to learn HTML and CSS. It’s something I need to improve upon. What course are you taking? Is it online?
MemberSorry for the lousy formatting. Doesn’t allow for proper indents, etc.
MemberHi Sarah,
Yes, the nav toc shows properly in the other readers, not on the Nook. And yes, upon using the online Nook previewer I could not see the “text” but the names of the xhtml files. My workaround was to re-type the name of each xhtml file with the proper label via their “Manuscript Editor.” I have to say, the Manuscript editing capability is cool, but it is lame that their device previewer doesn’t honor proper toc.ncx files.
Here is a paste of the toc.ncx before I de-nested it. (It didn’t show properly either nested or de-nested.) I also at one point changed the “dtb:depth” content to “1” after de-nesting it and it didn’t matter.
Thanks for the help!
Marty

</ncx>MemberThe html toc does appear on its own page on all Kindle devices that I tested, thank goodness (using Kindle Previewer). I guess the upshot is, why would InDesign not split the pub based on the the Object Export split pub setting on this one page and work just fine throughout the rest of the pub? Strange.
MemberI'm having a conversation with myself :-)
I used the page-break-before:always in the CSS for that style and it did work fine on the iPad.
Hopefully it'll work when I export to Kindle. I shall report back.
MemberI meant to write the “toc.ncx” works just fine.
MemberA correction about the problems with Flash and Lion was published yesterday.
MemberThanks, David. This is a really helpful document. Looks like Flash related products have the most kinks.

MemberWell, at this point, I decided to export the IDCS 5.5 file as IDML and re-open it in IDCS 5. Not much was lost in the way of the new features in 5.5. I exported it from there as epub and boom, all the xhtml files were there. I'm avoiding 5.5 for now. I'd be interested to know if anyone else is encountering this problem.
