Hello
I agree with Jean about converting the guide files into ePub format about getting a good-looking result.
I've run a few baseline tests using LibreOffice, Calibre, and a couple
of extensions that output EPUB. Results are here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/EPUB#Converting_ODF_to_EPUB
Take a look at the end product and see what you think. I think we're
getting pretty close...
I have tried a couple of times to convert a document file into an ePub format and iBooks format. By their very nature, ePub formats have to be very flexible to account for different resolutions and sizes of computer displays. The biggest problem is the OO style names used in the files which takes away this flexibility. If all the style names in the templates were converted into the "standard"names (Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on) used in other software would help in the conversion process. I think the majority of conversion programs expect standardised names for styles.
Solution - convert a template to use standard styles, then try a conversion. Any volunteers?
Sounds like a good idea. It would be great if someone could convert a
template to use standard styles and then re-run the tests on the wiki
page and see if that gives us better results.
Cheers,
