1. Re: ID CS4 — editing XML in ePUB file
myDwayneSmith Apr 20, 2010 10:59 PM (in response to myDwayneSmith)OK — update to my question for anyone else who might be brave enough to tackle the ePub format from InDesign....
Including embeddable fonts when exporting to Digital Editions seems to cause all sorts of issues if you need to further edit the ePub content files (which you probably WILL need to do because ePubs from InDesign CS4 seem not to comply with IDPF standards).
Exporting a 'clean' ePub (no embedded fonts, style names only, etc) — seems to fix the problem I had with text encoding — all xhtml files now state:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">So, now all the weird stuff I was seeing in Calibre has resolved itself.
