EPUB Advanced options
The Contents section of the EPUB Options dialog box includes the following options.
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.
The metadata from the document (or the style source document if a book was selected) is included with the
exported file.
Specify the publisher information that appears in the eBook metadata. You can specify a URL for the publisher so that
someone who receives the eBook can visit the publisher’s website.
Every EPUB document requires a unique identifier. A unique identifier is automatically created and displayed. You can remove
it and specify a unique identifier.
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.
Specify whether you want InDesign to generate a CSS for the exported file. If you export your document/book to EPUB
without generating a CSS, only the classes associated with the styles are marked in the HTML tags; no overriding classes are created.
This is very useful if you want to use an external CSS with the exported file.
If this option is selected, local formatting such as italic or bold is included.
Includes all fonts that are embeddable, in the eBook. Fonts include embedding bits that determine if the font
is embeddable.
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. You can use Dreamweaver to confirm your external CSS setup.
Specify the URL of an existing JavaScript. InDesign does not check whether the JavaScript exists or is valid, so you’ll want to confirm
your JavaScript setup.
