Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating a page list for epub
Hi Dick,I have not actually done it, but I think you should look at using the intermediate file format that most XSL-FO processors can output. For example, FOP has:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/intermediate.htmlThat format is an XML rendering of the area tree as pages. It contains page numbers and ids, so I think you could use it to post process the epub by matching up ids and inserting page numbers.

Has anyone on the list tackled the challenge of generating a page list for ePub output? A page list is a mapping of print page numbers to locations in the ePub. I don't see any easy way to do it; I suspect it would take some kind of parsing of a PDF version of the book, and post-processing of the ePub based on that parsing. But, before I decide whether it's worth even trying, I thought I'd ask the group whether anyone has thought about approaches to the problem.
