If I wanted to create an ePub file, which is more<br>
or less based on a version of html, I wouldn't<br>
start with the output of Scribus. Instead I would<br>
find some in between format and import that into<br>
both Scribus and whatever program creates ePub.<br>
The Libre Office writer program will create html<br>
documents.<br>
<br>
Given the above facts I would create a document<br>
in Libre Office Writer. I would save it in html<br>
form. I would convert that document to ePub<br>
somehow. Then I would import the original<br>
Writer document into Scribus, possibly in ODT<br>
format or plain text format and massage as<br>
needed.</blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div>This, actually, is what I was thinking of. I do most of my writing in Asciidoc and the asciidoctor processor outputs really nice epub3 (which needs tweaking because I haven't studied the CSS files used by asciidoctor [yet]).
