Hi,
Some work is going to be done on the ePub
stylesheets in August. Please file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge
site for this item so it can be tracked.
If anyone else has bug reports or feature requests
for ePub, please file them soon.

generation of epub cover
Thanks Nic - you are right that this happens in
several places. I have made some progress - I can turn off the generation of
the "cover.html" chunk by customising <xsl:template
name="cover">.
I can also remove the itemref "cover" from the OPF spine by customising
<xsl:template name="opf.spine">, and remove reference "cover.html" from
OPF guide by customising <xsl:template name="opf.guide">.
However, I cannot remove <meta name="cover"
content="coverimage" /> from OPF metadata, nor can I remove the items
"cover" and "coverimage" from OPF manifest - customising <xsl:template
name="opf"> theoretically should work, but customising to select or
deselect <xsl:element namespace="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf"
name="meta"> doesn't do anything in the content.opf. Perhaps this is a
bug?
Cheers,
Dave Gardiner

Hi Dave
There are several places as far as I can see. I think there's a
good argument for refactoring the code here. There isn't a single parameter
that allows the generation of the cover to be disabled as far as I can see.
I'm looking to see if any of the code I wrote for a similar purpose can be
reused. Can it wait until a weekday? I'm not working on EPUB creation again
until Tuesday.

I've thought a bit more about this. Is there
one or more pieces of code in the epub docbook.xsl that controls whether a
XHTML chunk is created? What I'd like is to add a parameter that gives
users the choice of turning off a front cover. If I can find the code that
kicks off the writing of a 'cover' chunk, I can customise a param to
either select or ignore that piece of code. Any suggestions would be
really helpful.
Thanks,

Subject: [docbook-apps] Turning off
generation of epub cover
Is there an easy way to turn off the
generation of a front cover? I have set up a DB 1.76 NS customisation
that always generates a "cover.html". I've tried various options in the
epub titlepage (where I have a template name="book.titlepage.recto"
similar to the FO titlepage template) by adding a param value that lets
a user select the cover on or off, but I'm lost.
What I'd like is to write in an option that allows: no "cover.html"
to be generated; and exclude the associated cover image info from
toc.ncx and content.opf. I can't follow the logic of covers in
docbook.xsl. Any ideas please?
Thanks
Dave
