The OSCI Toolkit authoring system allows authors to export a book to ePub format. The ePub document can then be viewed using an eReader such as the iPad, and can be converted to the mobi format used by the Kindle.

##THE EPUB LINKS MENU

The links in the ePub Links menu provide access to the components of the ePub document.

  • Content Document - the content document for the current section
  • Nav Document - the ePub3 navigation document
  • NCX Document - the backward-compatible (ePub 2) navigation document
  • Package Document - the package document describing the entire publication (also used to render the book in the OSCI Toolkit fronted)
  • Print-friendly - a printer friendly version of the content

Note that the markup provided at these links contains URL references to publication content, whereas the file exported using Publish ePub is a stand-alone container that contains all media required to render the publication.

##PUBLISHING AN EPUB DOCUMENT

When viewing a section or publication, the entire publication can be exported by clicking on the Publish ePub button in the ePub Links menu.

After the content is processed, a link will be provided to download the ePub document. On an iPad, this link can be opened in iBooks.

##USING A CUSTOM STYLE SHEET

The exported ePub document can use a custom style sheet. To specify your own, edit the Cover Section of your publication and replace the file in the CSS field with another .css document. The default osci-epub.css can be used as a starting point for customizations.
