\setupbackend [export=yes]

more on wiki

The wiki doesn’t really help. Am I supposed to create another product file in …/products?

no, just enable it ... export files end up in a subpath

I did add this to the environment file and tried to create an ePub for the whole book and for an individual chapter, but no success yet:

luna-wifi:chapters gerben$ (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && mtxrun --script epub --make c_loosely.specification) Setting "/usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex" as ConTeXt root.

mtx-epub | unknown specificaton file 'c_loosely.specification-export/c_loosely.specification-pub' for 'c_loosely.specification' luna-wifi:chapters gerben$ (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && mtxrun --script epub --make prd_book.specification) Setting "/usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex" as ConTeXt root.

mtx-epub | unknown specificaton file 'prd_book.specification-export/prd_book.specification-pub' for 'prd_book.specification'

What am I missing? What is a specification file?

you process the tex file as normal .. that will produce a specification file that will be used if you use mtxrun --script epub later (the call is mentioned at the end of a tex run that has the export enabled)

Ha, I’ve got my first ePUB! (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && context --mode=editor ../products/prd_book.tex) (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && mtxrun --script epub --make "prd_book") Now, it’s time to see how I can tweak the ePUB. Things I would like to do: - The quotes that now appear on the LHS page facing the first page of a chapter should instead appear on the top of the RHS new chapter page above the heading - manage footnotes. Probably best is to have them at the end of the chapter when producing for ePub. Basically, I need to know what to do if the structure of my document differs between PDF and ePUB. - manage the index (empty now) - manage bibliographic references (empty now) And of course I need to look into CSS and stuff to create a nice ePUB G
