a.l.e.<br><br>Thanks for the response. First let me say that while I think I am fairly good (read maybe better than most) I am not a programmer.<br><br>So I think the best thing would for me to send you the file. I am still making some finishing touches but I do have a almost completed version. All my images, pages, etc are finished. Just doing some editing.<br>
<br>Let me know if you would like to use this file to play around with or you want to wait for the final final.<br><br>BTW thanks. I am so excited. I was hoping I could use the scribus file and not try to start from scratch to do an eBook.<br>
<br>Look forward to hearing from you.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 3:45 PM, ale rimoldi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ale.comp_06@xox.ch" target="_blank">ale.comp_06@xox.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
some more information about the epub exporter.<br>
<br>
the epub exporter won't allow you to design epub files.<br>
<br>
it takes your SLA file (the scribus file) and exports all the content<br>
-- text with paragraph style, character styles, and some of the local<br>
formatting; images -- and packs it in a well formatted epub file.<br>
<br>
you will then be able to open the epub file with sigil (or any other<br>
epub editor) and tweak it to your needs.<br>
<br>
since the new plugin is not yet in the main scribus code, the easiest<br>
way to try it is by compiling it under linux.<br>
the second easiest alternative is to use a package (PPA) for ubuntu: i<br>
will have to create it for you (but it's on my todo list...)<br>
<br>
now, the question is: how computer savy are you? and do you have a<br>
computer with ubuntu on it ad hand?<br>
<br>
another way to do it, is that you "send" me your scribus project<br>
(collected for output) and i prepare an .epub file for you.<br>
<br>
<br>
now, how to proceed?<br>
<br>
ciao<br>
