Hi I've been playing about with Export in Context with a view to producing ePubs. When I run the script: /mtxrun --script epub --make test.specification /the test.tree is prepared but no epub file. The output shown below has a couple or 'error' messages which are probably due to the way my text editor is set up (Scite Version 2.02). If anyone is using Scite and producing ePubs I be grateful for some hints on how to set this up so that inkscape and zip works. %%Script Output mtx-epub | creating paths in tree test.tree mtx-epub | copying toc.ncx to test.tree/OPS/toc.ncx mtx-epub | copying test-styles.css to test.tree/OPS/test-styles.css mtx-epub | copying test-images.css to test.tree/OPS/test-images.css mtx-epub | copying test.css to test.tree/OPS/test.css mtx-epub | copying test.xhtml to test.tree/OPS/test.xhtml mtx-epub | running command 'inkscape --export-plain-svg=cow.svg cow.pdf' 'inkscape' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. mtx-epub | copying cow.svg to test.tree/OPS/cow.svg mtx-epub | copying hacker.jpg to test.tree/OPS/hacker.jpg mtx-epub | copying mill.png to test.tree/OPS/mill.png mtx-epub | creating archive 'zip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This is unrelated to scite (btw, you run a pretty old scite).

you need to install inkscape (just google for it) as well as zip (often part of gnu binutils) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hans Thanks for the hints. I downloaded inkscape but but still get the same error message. I'm not too concerned about that just now. Unfortunately I couldn't find zip so I played about with 7-Zip and managed to get the script to work. It's still work in progress since I'm not sure I have the switches right but I edited the epub generation part of mtx-epub.lua to look like this: os.execute(format("7z a -tzip -mx0 %s %s",epubfile,"mimetype")) os.execute(format("7z a -tzip %s %s",epubfile,"META-INF")) os.execute(format("7z a -tzip %s %s",epubfile,"OPS")) and using a simple css file I can view the test epub in Adobe Digital Editions. I'm used to using Sigil to edit ePubs and Context but luatex is all new territory for me. Thanks Keith On 27/11/2011 14:43, Hans Hagen wrote:

and using a simple css file I can view the test epub in Adobe Digital Editions.
I'm used to using Sigil to edit ePubs and Context but luatex is all new territory for me.
I've added this method too, so when zip is not found, 7z is tried ... I didn't test it.
