I am running with: mtxrun --autogenerate --mode=epub --script context "$1" but no epub document is generated, just the same result.pdf I get without that mode. In .bashrc using: # The current version of the ConTeXt luametatex in use: CONTEXTLMTX=$HOME/TeX/context-lmtx ; export CONTEXTLMTX CONTEXTCURRENT=$CONTEXTLMTX ; export CONTEXTCURRENT MYTEXMFHOME=$HOME/TeX/texmf ; export MYTEXMFHOME TEXMF=$MYTEXMFHOME:$CONTEXTCURRENT/tex ; export TEXMF PATH=$CONTEXTCURRENT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH ; export PATH Log shows: ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.02 12:53 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.2 I am doing something wrong here? dr.

Hi Hust not to miss something or mess up every thing. Can i setup my document preamble such that i can without any switching create pdf and epub output at the same time. Want to provide my lecture notes in pdf and epub format. In other words does it have any side effects on pdf output, if i put \setuptoutput command preparing document for xhtml/epub output in my document preamble/main document? Or would i have to enclose this in some \ifelse conditional block? If is there a possibility to control condition from mtxrun command line? Currently it is created at the same time but it runs slower. Indeed using some mode makes sense because you might also want to have a different layout (the simpler, the less possible side effects, actually when doing epub or export using some very large page also makes sense as then there can be less interference of page breaks and so).

\startmode [epub] .... \stopmode

and then run with --mode=epub

I followed your advice and added the setup:

You need \setupbackend[export=yes] in your document.

This, however, does not result in an .epub file but an export directory containing an html and xhtml file (only partially conformant to the equivalent pdf). Can I get the output as an .epub file? Some more changes needed?

You need

\setupbackend[export=yes]

in your document. When you put the setup above in a "epub" mode you create a epub-document only when you enable the mode which is recommended because it can have side effects for the normal PDF.

To avoid these side effects make an extra ConTeXt run by enabling the mode to get the epub file.

Has anyone ever got an epub that validates? last time i looked into it i found that there was no real consustency in checking (apart from device specific issues) so i gave up on that

anyway, an export is not per se an epub .. one might for instance add additional css (in the meantime i actually gave away my ebook reader ... now i wait till color shows up in e-ink which might give me a reason to play a bit more) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

sound quite interesting ....

yes, but i wonder how the spine will hold (samsung already found out the hard way) .. ok, if we see it as a spine we can live with a middle area that degrades over time i guess (but it will not last for decades, like books do) (Unfortunately these gadgets are too expensive to experiment and play around with.)

In the log comes: create epub with: mtxrun --script epub --make "kookboek" --purge --rename --svgmath This I did. The log gives: adding: mimetype (stored 0%) adding: META-INF/ (stored 0%) adding: META-INF/container.xml (deflated 32%) adding: OEBPS/ (stored 0%) adding: OEBPS/nav.xhtml (deflated 49%) adding: OEBPS/images/ (stored 0%) adding: OEBPS/kookboek.opf (deflated 65%) adding: OEBPS/styles/ (stored 0%) adding: OEBPS/styles/kookboek-styles.css (deflated 35%) adding: OEBPS/styles/kookboek-defaults.css (deflated 80%) adding: OEBPS/styles/kookboek-images.css (deflated 7%) adding: OEBPS/cover.xhtml (deflated 38%) adding: OEBPS/kookboek-div.html (deflated 67%) adding: OEBPS/toc.ncx (deflated 53%) mtx-epub | epub archive made using zip: kookboek.epub But, the resulting epub is bad. Compare the output as pdf with the output as epub and it is immediately clear that something is wrong in the production of the epub. See also the corresponding -raw.xml.
