Further to this, I rebooted my router, to clear it's cache. My PCs ip then changed. So I had to go back in and direct the forwarding to point to the new address. Even though I use DHCP I don't anticipate the ip changing very often, but be aware this…
I know there's a lot in there, so basically I constructed it as simply as possible, which means there is some non-condensed code. But, you'll soon get the idea...

epub Method
Basically what I'm doing is this:
I export the publication directley to epub from The Keep, which does a really good job. Any subsequent edits are mostly to suit myself. There is a second strategy here, which is based on exporting …
By the way, the Kindle Pre-viewer does a better job of displaying the mobi file than Calibre does so don't be disappointed if it looks a little funny in Calibre. The graphics and what-not are sharper in the Kindle Pre-viewer.
Forget Kindlegen, use Calibre instead.
Steps:
Create the epub from The Keep.
You can use Sigil to edit it if you need to, you'll have to download Sigil.
Download Calibre.
Hi Ed,
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, I think I fell asleep at the wheel! I hope you enjoy the files. Its fun working with The Keep.
I've changed the permissions on the .keep, .mobi, and .epub files for Chimera Basic so that they appear as…

Are you trying to make an actual in-document table of contents? If so, I think I can automate that. It already creates the .ncx file, so the info is all there.
Ah, no. I went off on a wild tangent do…
Hi Ed,
You'll have to laugh, last weekend I took some HTML output from TK (not the epub beta) and I brought that into Sigil, and manually assigned H1 to the headings in order to get Sigil to create a TOC. The result is pretty good. The hyperlinks…
I should mention that before you came out with this update I did try converting an html export to epub. I used Sigil to bring in the HTML, graphics, etc. In that route you have to create the toc manually so this update is a real treat.
Hi Ed,
Here's some more feedback for you. I noticed that the hyperlinks are not encoded in the epub.
I get
Dunghills
My previous HTML output was
Dunghills
I think this is a great addition to anyone who is interested in self publishing their own material.
I noticed one thing, on export to epub if a page has more than one embedded graphic it will use only one and repeat it several times. I cut and pa…

If I understand what you are saying, you'd have to use javascript to extract the "+7" out of the text first.
Actually, what I'd recommend is using a lookup list. Have the other fields use a Lookup( List, Field) as their source. …
I tried my hand at drawing a map symbol in the Norden style. Not too bad for a start. I found the tools a little different than I'm used to but I think I'm on my way.
Just puttering around again, I wonder if the ability to define some styles in the text editor wouldn't be useful. Now I realize this is not a page layout. However I'd like to be consistent in how I apply the various text attributes to the text in my…
I just noted the following at Mark's excellent website:
"The raster symbol catalogs that are delivered with FM8 are defined at a scale of 1 foot = 50 pixels."
Hi Mark,
Wow, thanks for your reply and the links, quite interesting. You've got some very nice work there and a great site! Just looking around your site I found the tip you put up regarding scale
Hi Ed,
I'm interested in this as well so thank you! The script gives a great starting point for making an equvalent Inspiration Pad tool. I'm really impressed with IP by the way. It's pretty neat. I'm fairly certian Erin's OCD will kick in shortl…
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the reply! Actually, as usual I didn't explain myself very well. The right words didn't come out! Klaatu Veratta Necktie again!
I was just tinkering with the demo and it occurred to me that you might have ideal dimensions in …
Hi,
I've discovered a couple of things that should make life easier.
Ok, if you have a map, set your grid size to whatever you like, so if the map size is whatever, set the grid to 10 x 10 for 10 feet squares.
When you insert a symbol, pro…
Hi,
There is no feature for changing the case of text. You may wish to implement this useful function so you can switch the case of text to Title Case, Sentence Case, Lower Case, and All Caps.
I don't see a function to show the hard carriage r…
Hi,
I'm running the demo at the moment. A couple of things occurred to me as I was working with it:
1. When I paste my text into a topic I cant refer to any of the text, there's no method for bookmarking in a topic.
2. Also, when hyperlinki…
