About Markdown to EPUB
EPUB files are ZIP containers with HTML inside, plus a manifest (`.opf`) and a table of contents (`nav.xhtml`). Converting Markdown to EPUB produces a single-chapter EPUB by default — for multi-chapter books, split each chapter into its own Markdown file before converting and merging. Reader compatibility: Apple Books and Calibre render EPUB 3 with full CSS support; older Kindle devices need a secondary MOBI/AZW3 conversion. Cover images are added at the manifest level, not as the first heading. EPUB validators (epubcheck) catch broken nav references — run one before distributing.
EPUB-specific workflow
- Structure your Markdown with clear H1 chapter titles — each H1 becomes a TOC entry.
- Export EPUB; verify chapter order in the bundled TOC.
- For Kindle distribution, run the EPUB through KindleGen or Amazon's Kindle Previewer to produce AZW3/MOBI.
- Validate with epubcheck before publishing to Apple Books, Kobo, or Google Play Books.
EPUB workflow scenarios
- Share EPUB output with teams that do not edit Markdown directly.
- Archive finalized documents as EPUB for handoff and record keeping.
- Reuse the same Markdown source for iterative editing and EPUB distribution.
