Summary | 0012633: Feature Request: Import/Export of EPUB3 file format | ||||
Description | Hello, I would love to switch all the way to free software, however I am held back by Adobe InDesign. This is the closest tool to getting the job done, however, it does not support import and export of the EPUB3 file format. If possible please add native support for this open standard. Update by @nitramr: Specs EPUB 3.3 https://www.w3.org/TR/epub/ For reference: Sigil EPUB importer: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/blob/master/src/Importers/ImportEPUB.cpp | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1) Download a common EPUB 2) Try to open it with Scribus, it isn't supported. 3) Try exporting anything to EPUB. | ||||

epub import should be rather simple to implement, as soon as the html import is made usable... it would help if you could provide a set of epub files and the matching .sla files that would show how the file should have been imported. |
|
OP, will you be kind enough to attach what a-l-e asked in 0012633:0033353 Thank you in advance. |
|
Here are some examples of EPUB 3.0 documents. https://idpf.github.io/epub3-samples/30/samples.html Each EPUB file is a compressed zip file and contains single xhtml files + assets. |
|
technically, it should not be hard to import content from (well formed) epub files. my request above, would rather for getting actual use cases of content that needs to be imported and how the result would look like in scribus. personally, i see very well why somebody would want scribus to create an epub from a scribus document, but fail at seeing a use case where somebody would produce an epub file and then want to import that into scribus. |
|
If a source file is produced by party A and party B wants to include it in a document, then we'd need an import function. |
|
personally, i have never heard of epub files being used for exchanging information that should be further processed. that's why i'm asking for actual examples to see what kind of documents are those. |
