Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to implement it, but might need until Sunday.
- I've added some keys to \setupexport:
author title subtitle firstpage (also new key in mult) lastpage (aso new key in mult)
- The title, subtitle and author inherit from \setupinteraction which already inherits from \setupdocument (metadata namespace).
- In mtx-epub these variables are picked up (from the epub job specification) and firstpage / lastpage are added to the images list.
Nothing has been checked and the firstpage/lastpage image names have to be pushed into some epub metadata blob I guess but that's for you to figure out in mtx-epub. It's probably best to assume that the images are present and suitable for epub.
I took the new keys and added the cover (page) generator to mtx-epub.lua. The name is hard coded (cover.xhtml), so if a user decides on naming the original file cover.tex...
The validator likes it, next is the hard part: generating a valid xhtml. Is the xhtml generator only for the epub, i.e. can it be changed or is another output file just for the epub appropriate?
the only issue is that css has no method for mapping a link which is why the exporter produces two files (xml and xhtml)
Calibre is already happy with it and shows it just fine. Please note that some ebook readers (e.g. apple devices, calibre) have a nasty caching mechanism. If you want to see the new changes, I found that it is best to delete the old book before replacing it.

xmlns + doctype is probably a bit over the top for the coverpage
P.S. I have no clue, why 'images[firstpage] = firstpage' works. I would expect 'images[#images+1] = firstpage'
it's a hash mapping names onto real names (as we can have converted images) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
