I might not be able to help you with an automated output using context, but I can recommend a very good book on e-book creation. Elizabeth Castro (ISBN 978-0321734686) discusses a sample e-book line by line of the source code, how to create it, validate it (http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/) etc. You can find the sources of her sample e-book online at: http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub/examples/ . There is some other useful stuff, too. I just started to implement some of the info I gathered in my context module for my book project, so I cannot give concrete advise,yet :( But I made the TOC etc. 'by hand' to to try if it would work with the validator, kindle, calibre and so on. Just the xhtml was automatically created (and tweaked a little). It does not take as much time as it seems, we were able to have a validated e-pub with a sample chapter in a day. Hope this help a little, Andy On 04.06.2012, at 12:24, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

With
\setupbackend[export=example.xml,xhtml=example.xhtml,css=example.css]
in my project’s environment, I get both "example.xml" and "example.xhtml" (as well as "example-images.css" and "example-style.css"), starting with the same content (up to line 857 in my case), but the .xhtml stops after the first \stoppart, while the .xml contains all four parts.
mtxrun --script epub --make example insists on copying a file named exactly "example.xhtml" to the ePub tree.
Using \setupbackend[export=example.xhtml,xhtml=test.xhtml,css=example.css] both "example.xhtml" and "test.xhtml" are identical, complete *and* both copied to the epub tree (ToC refers to test.xhtml, the other is ignored).
Since none of my browsers or epub readers likes this XML format, I guess I’ll need to apply a XSL transformation to create HTML.
Ok... Looking at "mtx-epub.lua" I understand why none of my setups (i.e. author, title) has any effect on the output. Seems like we need to fix that manually - unzip the epub, fix it, re-pack... But create the ToC manually??
