EPUB Contents options
The Contents section of the EPUB Options dialog box includes the following options.
Format For EPUB Content
Specify whether you want to use the XHTML or DTBook format. DTBook is a specialized
format that is intended for sight impaired end readers.
Use InDesign TOC Style
Select this option if you want to generate a table of contents based on the selected TOC style.
From the TOC Style menu, specify the TOC style you want to use to build the table of contents in the eBook. You can
choose Layout > Table Of Contents Styles to create a special TOC style for your eBook.
Break Document at Paragraph Style
You can split the eBook at the specified paragraph style. Splitting results in a larger
number of HTML files in the EPUB package, but can be helpful for breaking up long files and increases performance
in the EPUB readers.
Place Footnote After Paragraph
Check to place footnotes after the paragraph. If deselected, footnotes are converted to
endnotes.
Remove Forced Line Breaks
Check to remove all soft-returns in the exported eBook.
Generate CSS
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a collection of formatting rules that control the appearance of content
in a web page. When you use CSS to format a page, you separate content from presentation.
Include Style Definitions
When exporting to EPUB, you can create a list of CSS styles that can be edited.
Preserve Local Overrides
If this option is selected, local formatting such as italic or bold is included.
Include Embeddable Fonts
Includes all fonts that are embeddable, in the eBook. Fonts include embedding bits that
determine if the font is enbeddable.
Style Names Only
Includes only undefined style names in the EPUB style sheet.
Use Existing CSS File
Specify the URL of the existing CSS style sheet, which is usually a relative URL, such as
“/styles/style.css.” InDesign does not check whether the CSS exists or is valid, so you’ll want to confirm your CSS setup.
