Robert,
Thanks for your ideas, but my issue seems to be a stylesheet problem.
Firstly, I will keep using oXygen to create epub files. As a potential
ebook editor, I need the fine control to edit each HTML file for style and
layout - I have especially found that table columns need to be resized so
the text in each column is separated sufficiently. I also need to edit image
widths in HTML files. Yes, DocBook 5 only creates the files for an epub and
I then need to edit the mimetype file and zip all files into an epub - but
that is exactly the control I need over the production process.
So, having established that I'll keep using oXygen 12, I have transformed
other individual chapters to epub with no problems - I get all the files I
need in their correct epub folders. I'm checking that individual chapters
transform first, before I use a master file with includes for all
components, etc to transform an entire book. These XML files that have
worked so far have been "chapter", "preface" and "bibliography"
components.
But when I follow the exact same process to create
epub from "glossary" and "index" components, I get a messy (incorrect
content) HTML file that is not copied into the OEBPS folder as it
should.
This suggests something in the
stylesheets that I need to set or modify. I'll have a closer look at
comparing the code for glossary in the hope I spot something that needs to
be modified, but I'm getting out of my depth with that sort of debugging.
Hoping for a more solid answer on this.
Thanks,
Dave Gardiner
