This work follows on from previous workflows in creating a Shakespeare play for print. We should already have an Indesign ‘book’ with at least 2 sections. We will export from InDesign for ePub (reflowable) and then 'break open' the ePub file and make some changes to some of the included files.

When we have created a reflowable ePub by exporting from InDesign, we may find that there are some stylistic details that need tidying up, changing or even correcting. Not all aspects of our wonderfully crafted typographic design work will give perfect results in the ePub.

There are some ways we can creatively enhance the eBook version to provide some interactivity and multimedia that can go beyond the traditional book page.

HTML is the language for the web; delivering content for our various types of screens. InDesign is a *page layout* tool; presuming for the printed page, but we can still generate HTML from our content and with some attention to detail, we can can get good HTML markup ready for further styling and attention to a responsive design.

The fixed-layout format ePUB3 format provides a way to deliver every single page in your print book laid out just as it was in the print version.

When we export our book to the reflowable ePub from InDesign, we have a choice about the content order. Usually we choose ‘Based on Page Layout’, but if you want to make sure that your front matter pages don’t end up at the back of the book, then you need to use the Articles Panel to organise the content.

This screencast is for beginners only! It just explains the relationship between the language of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and the stylesheet language called CSS (cascading Style Sheets).

I provide you with a template that you can as the basis of your web site. You’ll need to use some software. Post and pages are created with markdown.

We look at the results of our first effort and see what needs changing to get a better looking eBook.

We take an existing InDesign document prepared for print and export to ePub. We then make some adjustments and do that again.

We can generate good quality, sensible HTML markup from InDesign so long as we make some adjustments to the way the HTML tags are mapped from our styles.

Although the ePub3 format can support popup notes, it is difficult to achieve this in the fixed-layout version from InDesign.

Once we have exported the reflow-able ePub from InDesign, we can make changes by editing the CSS that InDesign has created. We want to achieve a roundtrip workflow, allowing us the potential to go back to InDesign and re-export. To achieve this we must make our own version of the CSS, that will override those generated by InDesign.

Our eBook production workflow involves perfecting for the ePub3 format first by exporting from InDesign and then making minimal adjustments through our own CSS file. Once we have everything ready to go, we can then convert this ePub to the MOBI file for the Amazon Kindle.

This screencast explains how images should placed into InDesign and then anchored into the text.
