Re: ePub and Org mode

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

Hi,

I agree exporting 'chapters' in a single Org document to separate html 
files would be a nice option to have.

Pending someone writing an export function for this, you could

- post-process the HTML with one of the scripts out there for 
splitting up web pages, like htsplit available on CPAN;

- or go the Org -> DocBook -> `chunked' HTML route?

But just out of curiosity, why would you like this for the purpose of 
making an ePub book? Are you using a tool that requires it? (Unlike, 
e.g., Calibre, which takes a single HTML file as input, with TOC built 
from e.g. H2 as chapter headings.)

Yours,
Christian

It is easy enough to do this with a macro or a simple function (even though I am no elisp guru). Is there an export function that does this? I didn't see it in the docs and I don't see anything about it doing a Google search.
