EPUB/HTML Exportoptions scriptable?

Hey,
with InDesign CS5.5 we've got the possibility to control the rasterize and position options for EPUB and XHTML export. (Object -> Object Export Options). Is there any way to acces these Options via Script? It should hang around with PageItem, but i cannot find it there.
Do I miss something?
Thanks,
Gregor

Hi gregor,
The CS5.5 scripting DOM now exposes the new EPubExportPreference and HTMLExportPreference structures, which you can reach from Document and Book objects. E.g.: myDoc.ePubExportPreferences, etc.

Smart quotes and em-dashes in epub file

When I create an epub file from my InDesign book file, I find that sometimes (not always, thought!) my smart quotes and em-dashes revert to gibberish.
For example, when I open the epub file, the em-dash is fine, but in chapter 2, it changes to â€”.
Does anyone know how I might correct this?
Thanks so much!

It sounds like somethings wrong with the chapter's character encoding. The character encoding is declared in the header of the ePub HTML. From ID it's:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
This test has UTF-8 declared in the first line of its source code:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/encodetest/UTF8.html
And this has no encoding
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/encodetest/None.html
Most browsers let you override or choose the character set, so in Safari if you set the character set to View>Text Encoding>default, you'll see a difference between the above links, but if you set it to Unicode (UTF-8) they both display correctly. In FireFox it's View>Character Encoding.
You can check and edit the contents of the .epub file by changing the extension from .epub to .zip, and then extracting the contents.

Hyperlinks in epubs? Indesign CC 2014

Hi everyone,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I have search and can't seem to find an answer. I have created an ePub for iBooks/iPad. Inserted hyperlinks, tests ok in the dialog box, but doesn't work at all on the iPad. I know the link works as I printed the book to PDF and it worked. I am using the Fixed Layout.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Vic

Use of cookies in fixed-layout EPUBs

I am creating a fixed-layout picture ebook in EPUB2 format to be published on the iBookstore.
In order to start some CSS3 animations at the same time on both pages of a page spread, I'd like to use a mechanism to synchronize the start time for the animations. This is because I noted that, in the iBook reader running on my iPad2, the left and right pages of a spread get loaded at different times and usually the right page is loaded approximately 1s later than the left page, though the delay is extremely variable.
I am thinking about using some javascript to set a cookie in order to check whether both pages in a spread are loaded and consequently start the animations. This is based on the assumption that both pages of a spread use a webview built upon the same common Safari rendering engine which uses a single set of cookies.
My questions are:
Is it allowed to use cookies in an EPUB to be published on the Apple iBookstore? On page 29 of the iBookstore Asset Guide 5.0 it is specified that "Books must not rely on external resources", but are cookies to be considered "external resources"?
If cookies are not allowed, is there any other way to synchronize the two pages of a page spread on the iBook reader?

Styles are missing when publishing to ePub in RoboHelp 9

Good afternoon,
We are developing content for Android Tablets and have learned the customary format that we used is, well, unusable.
A few posts suggest that ePub is really the only way to go with Android Tablet Help.
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/04/robohelp_script_to_generate_epub_format_content_fo r_mobile_d.html

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/tag/mobile
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/12/epub-industry-standard-file-format-for-reflowable- content.html
So, I have published using the ePub format, but I have noticed the existing styles are ignored. In another post, it was noted to ensure that the tags are lower case. I edited the css file and made sure the tags are lower case, but this did not make any difference.
Any suggestions for what may be happening here? My best guess is there is an issue with the CSS file.

Hi,
I ran some more tests and did some reading up, and I constantly come across the limitations of the ePub format/readers. From the ePub specification:
The CSS-based style sheet constructs in this specification define required rendering functionality. To minimize the burden on Reading System developers and device manufacturers, not all CSS 2 properties are included. A few additional properties and values have been added to support page layout, headers, and footers. These, taken together, constitute the OPS CSS 2.0 required subset.
An example about using colour in a style sheet:
Current browsers support a host of keyword color names. XHTML 1.1 defines 16 named colors, as well as numeric values. OPS style sheets may use all CSS2 forms, however Reading Systems are not required to distinguish all these colors for rendering (otherwise monochrome devices would necessarily be non-conforming, which is not the intent).
Fonts are supported in the standard (the standard says that font-family and other styling must be supported). As far as I can make out, you may choose between two things:
Use generic font description: serif, sans-serif, monospace.
Use font names, such as Arial. This however would require you to use an open type font which needs to be embedded in the ePub.
See the following section in the specification: http://idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPS_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section3.4
The answer I can give you goes contains multiple facets:
ePub does not support all the formatting you may be able to throw at it using style sheets. A list of all supported formatting is available in the specification.
ePub readers can perhaps ignore styling even though the ePub format supports it.
Some styling, such as specifying a font, may only work after manually optimizing the CSS through an external CSS editor.
I haven't read the complete specification, so I'm not in the position to tell you what will always work, what will never work, etc. The following page has some screenshots of the same ePub on different readers: http://rufus.deuchler.net/2010/10/css-and-xhtml-tags-for-epub.html That illustrates the problem.
Sorry I can't be more help, but it seems we will have to learn to live with formatting loss in ePub. It's not Robo's fault, but it's annoying none the less.
Greet,
Willam

Preserve "exactly" line spacing in epub output.

In my Pages document, there are many inline equations (from Mathtype). I like having the line spacing set to "exactly" so the line spacing remains constant, even between lines with equations that 'overlap' the lines around it.
Is there a way to preserve this option when I export my Pages document to Epub? Right now, the line spacing is single-spaced in the Epub output.

No, if you use the ePub document model. Yes, if you mix document models.
ePub is a document markup model where you are expected to encode character information in ISO10646/Unicode and encode the logical organisation (structure) the define the parts of your document. However, ePub has no support for font embedding and without font embedding it is meaningless to talk of fixed line length, fixed line spacing, and fixed glyph spacing and sizing.
If you set up your equations in whatever originating application you prefer and save into a fixed geometry format such as Adobe PDF, then the fixed geometry file can be handled like a graphic in ePub, HTML and other document markup models. Be aware that Adobe PDF encodes the glyphs but not the characters whereas ePub and HTML encode the characters but not the glyphs which may impact search support, depending on what you are trying to do. Also, check you mathematical fonts in the Apple Character Palette to be certain that the glyphs map to meaningful characters in ISO10646/Unicode so that the glyph identifiers can be used to synthesise character semantics. A whole lot of mathematical fonts are constructed to draw mathematical glyphs from say English characters so that there is no relationship at all between information processing and image presentation. In this respect, OpenType is simply a rebranding of TrueType whereby system software displays an OpenType icon if a TrueType font file has the DSIG table - there is no guarantee whatsoever that the relationship of characters to glyphs is of this world (lots and lots of laughs to Heidelberg and its management of the Linotype Library here). See below from the ePub Specification.

http://www.idpf.org/doclibrary/epub/OPS_2.0.1draft.htm
3.4: Embedded Fonts
To provide authors with control over the appearance of the text, OPS supports the CSS2 font-face at-rule (@font-face). See section 15.3.1 of the CSS2 Recommendation. The following font descriptors must be supported:
font-family
font-style
font-variant
font-weight
font-size
src
For portability, authors must not use any other descriptors. Font files must carry all information needed for rendering Unicode characters. Fonts must not provide mappings for Unicode characters that would change the semantics of the text (e.g. mapping the letter "A" to a biohazard symbol). Content creators must not assume that any particular font format is supported. Fonts could be included in multiple formats by using a list of files for the src descriptor; the first supported format should be used. At least one file in OpenType format should always be included in the list. It is advisable for a Reading System to support the OpenType font format, but this is not a conformance requirement; a reading system may support no embedded font formats at all. Content creators should use comma-separated lists for font-family properties to specify fallback font choices.
Content creators must always honor usage restrictions that are encoded in OpenType fonts (and many other font formats). Fonts that are marked "no embedding" must not be included in OPS Publications.
Any font files included in an OPS Publication must be included in the OPF manifest with appropriate media type (application/vnd.ms-opentype for OpenType fonts).

Fixed Layout EPUBs in Adobe Indesign CC 2014

Hi Friends,
I'm fascinated with the prospects of the Fixed Layout EPUBs.   In the few video tutorials that are more current, Adobe host shows the ability to PREVIEW the EPUBs using the menu item OBJECT > INTERACTIVE > Epub Previewer. But no go.
So, I've now installed from Creative Cloud, the Extend Script tool kit as well as Extension Manager.   I also installed Edge Inspect CC.
Am I on the right track to find or install the Interactive > Fixed Layout EPUB Previewer?    I need your guidance and have not found anything through my searches online.
I exported my Fixed Layout EPUB yesterday and the slider I created by following one of the few tutorials caused some sort of problem because that entire SPREAD was blank, although all other pages were present.
Thanks for any guidance.
Sincerely
mary

Hyperlinks for ePub

Hi Adobe forum,
I have a very long document with thousands of hyperlinks and email address. Almost all of which don't start with http://. When I convert them automatically, it doesn't add the http:// and I have to do it manually which is very time consuming. When I export the document to ePub I get errors for every single hyperlink. Does someone have a good fix for this?
Thanks,
Tara

If my memory serves me right, the InDesign’s “Convert URLs to hyperlinks” feature creates “shared” hyperlinks. That’s why they don’t work after exporting to ePub. I wrote a number of scripts for this task. Last year I was working on a big project on “converting” old printed books to ePub & HTML format.
Here is a script that may come in handy to you. Check out also the hyperlink section on this page.

Anyone try page flip animation in updated ePub?

I actually read a FXL epub on my iPad with iBooks! The page flip animation is interesting but I don't really like it! I love its music along the pages (without cut) and some of its uncommon animations! All the text can be selected and a research can be done on it! Finally, I'm not sure it's flash!
Well! A really cool book I'ld like to create!

Can I use Indesign to create an ePub for iPad with expandable images?

Hello everyone! I'm creating a book for iBooks on the iPad. It is a basic book that has short chapters of text with pictures. Reading Terry White's, the Adobe evangelist, blog I saw that his attempt with InDesign seemed straight forward, without a need for html skills (which I don't have.) So I would make the investment in InDesign if it is suitable.
BUT! I would like to add an extra feature that I have seen in some iBooks: When you double-tap an image the text disappears and the image expands and fills the page. And when you double-tap the image again it goes back to normal. Can this be done in InDesign? How?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Size your image so that the longest dimension is 1024 pixels.
Screen size of iPad is 1024 x 768.
In iBooks, when a user double-taps on an image, iBooks will open the image in full-screen view and scales the image to its largest dimension.
In normal book view, iBooks displays all images at their maximum size unless they're larger than the iBooks page, in which case they are displayed to the max width or height of the page (until double-tapped on).
You can constrain the image size in iBooks with certain HTML coding. (Unlike other epub display software and devices, iBooks ignores CSS height and width instructions unless you make specific use of a <div> tag.)

EPUP export html files instead of xhtml

When I export my ePub book and crack it open the markup files are in xhtml. Whereas all the free books that I've downloaded on gutenberg.org have had html files inside them. Is there an option in InDesign to export the files as html? In case you were wondering why I have written some JavaScript do do some ePub parsing and the javascript evaluate function works differently with xhtml.

You can't change the ePub included file format in InDesign. In ePub html, xhtml and xml is allowed, thats why different ePubs from different vendors can also have different file extensions. You might change your javascript to support html files, or you rename the files within the ePub. In second case, don't forget to adapt the opf, toc and linking within the xhtml files.

Centering images in ePubs

I have been doing a lot of work in Pages and then exporting them as ePubs for the iPad. One issue I cannot overcome - is it possible to center the image in the Pages document so that it is centered in the ePub. Otherwise, the caption is oddly oriented in relationship to the image.
Thanks

I've discovered how to center images accidentally.
First, make sure your image is inline. I'm quite sure you know that but some have been struggling to understand why their floating images don't export in ePub so I think it's worth saying.
Then, instead of centering the picture itself, center the line on which your picture is, as if it were plain text. It should work. I've been fighting for a magazine tutorial all day long and I can't explain how relieving this discovery was. I checked on iPad and iPhone and pictures were indeed centered.
This may not translate into top-notch ePub/HTML coding, but since Pages exports ePub its special way… I think it's just a tiny little detail.

How to automatically create hyperlink destinations based on numbered list?

I am very new to InDesign and am creating a template for an academic journal. Each article contains a list of references at the end and the references are cited in the main text (like what you see in Wikipedia if you are not familiar with scientfic journal articles). In exported HTML, the citation in the main text should be hyperlinked to the coressponding reference in the reference list. I have two questions:
1) It is possible to ask paragraphy style to assign each numbered item a hyperlink destination? If this is possible, I can then manually inserted hyperlinks in the main text.
2) one step further, is there any way (e.g. script) which can then insert hyperlink to those destinations based on pattern match? For example, in main text, the citation to reference #1 appear in the text as [1] which should be hyperlinked to reference #1.
One more question, is there anyone who knows how academic journals handle the flow from InDesign to html? Certainly, the exported html cannot go directly online without further editing.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
I posted the script here. But it should be adjusted to your particular document. (Anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do this). I am sure it won’t work as it is. I assume that “comments” and “references” are in two different stories.
Can I have the scripts from you (for a fee or free)?
I don't sell my scripts: they're free.
Can the scripts handle the pattens like these [3], [1-5], [3,4], [6, 8, 11-13]?
This script can't, but another handles both single page numbers and page ranges like so:
I can post it as well.
Now I’d like to make one thing clear:
I made a set of scripts for creating hyperlinks in InDesign documents for further exporting them to ePub/HTML. I can’t make a script that would work for everyone because all books are very different. I simply adjusted scripts for every book I had to work with (mainly changing GREP expressions and names of styles) and I have numerous variations of scripts. I can post them if someone is interested but you should be aware that they have to be reworked.

How does one export a style sheet?

Adobe Frame 12 help says:
"You can also use style sheets (.css) to manage the styles in the published output. In this case, you can export the current styles to a .css file. You can then open this file in a text or .css editor (such as Adobe Dreamweaver), make changes to the styles in this file and import the file back.
To export and import the style sheet:
To export the output styles defined for the current output, click Export . "
OK, so where is this?
Nothing I can find on the menus provide this option displaying regular Frame or XML view.
Also, when I find it, do I need to load the css into Dreamweaver? Shouldn't I be able to use the XML view?

No Colum, I've since found it. (Actually I found a video by Bernard A. that explained a bit).
In the "Publish" pod are 5 choices (epub, html, etc) and selecting one highlights a button for settings. Edit settings has TWO tabs, one called Style Mappings which is where the button for Import/Export styles can be found.
There's a button there for Automap Paragraph Styles which I'm going to experiment with next.
Thanks for your efforts to solve my huge learning curve.
