You will probably need CSS styling. 

Maybe you can use one of the popular CSS reset or normalize stylesheets available. I haven't tested, but http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/ is pretty popular.

Beware, a lot of EPUB rendering engines are crap, and there is not a lot of conformity throughout various products. This seems sad... since it is just XHTML.

Hi,

I ran the following simple document through ConTeXt:

\setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes]

\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage[en]
\language[en]

\setupexport[
  title={A nice book},
  author={John Doe},
  firstpage={cover.jpg},
]

\starttext
  \startitemize
    \item First
    \item Second
    \item Third
  \stopitemize

\stoptext

I then ran mtxrun:

mtxrun --script epub --make t.specification

This produced a document with the cover page correctly; however, the items were listed on a single line in the EPUB, instead of on lines by themselves.

I have a couple of questions:
  • Styling. Is custom styling required to format bullet or numbered lists in the resulting EPUB XHTML document?
  • Knowledge. Would anyone be willing to share their experiences (and tips) for transforming ConTeXt documents to EPUB?
  • Examples. Where can I find examples of simple and complex ConTeXt documents being converted to EPUB documents having a similar layout?
Many thanks and kind regards.
