MOving from MkII to MkIV / EPUB

MOving from MkII to MkIV / EPUB

Hello folks,

I have a ConTeXt Project for a small and simple book, that has the 'basic example' project structure with .../images, .../chapters, .../products etc. I use a Makefile to comppile the book when in the .../chapters directory, as attached below. I use "texexec --pdf" and probably ConTeXt MkII from the MacTeX 2012 distribution.

I'd like to make an EPUB from this book as well. I suspect that means going over to LuaTeX/MkIV and doing extra stuff. I got lost in the ConTeXt documentation (for as much as there is, old and new) and would appreciate an instruction on how to do this that does not suppose I am a ConTeXt wizard who is doing stuff like this daily. Is there such a thing?

Gerben

The first step will be make sure that your document compiles correctly 
with MkIV. Simply change `texexec` to `context` in your source file and 
see what happens. Most likely, you'll get some errors (font loading has 
changed, so has the name of some setups), which you'll have to correct 
one-by-one.
