    Relative text units for ePub/Screen workflows

      Hi (again)

       

      One other thing that has been nagging away at me recently and while I was here thought I may as well ask; could we have the option to set relative text untis for ePub (predominantly) workflows?

       

      I'm quite used to HTML/CSS workflows and would like to be able to create type styles using relative units. I know that ID does this when it converts styles for ePub but i find myself having to calculate against it. Currently, as I see it ID sets a base text size of 12pts to 1em. I'd much rather be able to set my own base unit and then in based-on styles refer to the inheritance as a relative measurement for not only the size of the type but also the indents (padding) and spacing (margins).
