//EPUB Straight to the Point// explains how to create ebooks in the standard EPUB format, starting with tools you may already be familiar with: Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign, and how to use either one (not to mention the documents you may already have in those formats) to generate the files necessary for creating an EPUB format ebook. But because neither of those programs creates a fully valid EPUB file, the book also takes a closer look at the inner workings of an EPUB format file, and shows you how to use a text editor to complete the EPUB file, including the creation of a cover and navigational table of contents. In the last chapter, the book explains how to take full advantage of the formatting strengths of EPUB, while taking into account the quirks of the iBooks ereader app on the iPad. You'll learn how to specify fonts and text-alignment, wrap text around images, add drop caps to the beginning of a paragraph, format short lines like poetry, and much more.
