Can't generate an epub - what am I doing wrong?
Hello all, my problem is as in the topic;). The minimal example from the wiki works fine, but this does not: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes] \settaggedmetadata [title=My Document, author=A. U. Thor] \starttext \startchapter[title={First chapter}] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second chapter}] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The resulting epub file (after the mtxrun, of course) does not contain any metadata; also, there is no chapter structure whatsoever. What am I missing? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
Hi,
I don't seem to have an epub reader that can format the output. (MS Word complain there was no xslt file, But the xhtml file produced contains the metadata and the document structure. Output pasted below.

Agreed, but opening in fbreader showed blank screen, and in sigil I saw the text but not divided into chapters. Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

ConTeXt uses it’s own tag names for the elements and doesn’t use the normal HTML structure which is a problem for most epub readers (hardware and software). Wolfgang

that's because it's an export (ie .. we want to preserve information). One can easily transform the export into something suitable for some purpose.
