Here's yet another idea, just thrown out there… export to single file.
This idea was sorta discussed here…
I've been thinking of a topic for the next Photics book. Since ePub is the focus, I was considering the possibility of interactivity. To start things off, I simply tried getting the current time with JavaScript. It was pretty easy.
But when I tried to add the “Timing” template… Free Template Tuesday #30 – Tumult Hype “Timing” – Photics.com …as a test of what's possible with ePub, I couldn't get it to work.
The problem is that Hype has a directory structure… specifically .hyperesources …but I couldn't add directories in the Calibre. I'm going to experiment with that some more, but it just seems like it would be more ideal if Hype exported to a single file… probably a single HTML file …similar to .swf when Flash was popular.
UPDATE — I was able to flatten the directory structure, so that's not a problem. Yet, I still wasn't able to get a Hype project to work in an ePub using Calibre. So, I suppose those are two separate features.
- Single file exporting
- Export to ePub — which was mentioned above, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
There was some discussion about exporting to ePub… Export scenes to EPUB3 …but it was centered around OAM Widget & InDesign.
