Hi Bill,
Using a PDF as a basis for creating an Epub ebook is actually a lost cause.
EPUB is a container format that just wraps around your PDF. I do not know of any
ereader that can actually adjust the formatting/layout of a pdf in any significantly
useful way. You are stuck with the formatting in the PDF.
For a EPUB-ebook to adjust properly you need to use HTML5 and CSS. Producing PDF an sticking it into a
EPUB or MOBI wrapper just does not make sense.
regards
Keith.

I have been trying for a very long time to generate an epub document via context without success.
I have followed the steps on the wiki to the letter, using the export-example file provided with the standalone distribution. A PDF generated from the file is exactly what I would expect from an example. The generated epub, however, is useless - all the text is jammed together into one continuous block with no formatting whatsoever.
Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 crashes trying to open it. Sumatra and Sigil get it open but the results are as described above. Obviously I am missing a step or doing something wrong but I cannot see what.
Context Standalone from a couple of days ago. Windows 7-64 (Home Premium) but I got the same results several months ago on a Linux system so I do not think it is OS-related.
Sign me, "Frustrated!"
