Thank you for prompt response. 

I copied the default.epub3 template to ~/.pandoc/templates/default.epub3 
and added the above <div><svg> ... </svg></div> and ran pandoc.

What happens is that my cover.xhtml custom code does not replace the 
default <div><img> ... </div> ... It gets inserted as expected but the 
default code is also there below it! Hence epubcheck gives me an error 
(duplicate ID 'cover-image' and there is a duplicate cover image in the 
resulting epub.

How do I "suppress" the body variable? I tried specifying "-V body=' '" 
(body="false" etc.) ... but that caused *all *the xhtml files in the epub 
to contain the same code as cover.xhtml and nothing else. 

I also tried to unset the 'body' variable directly inside the template in 
"$if(coverpage)$ ... $endif$ ... hoping the variable's content would be 
restored to its original value after leaving the if(coverpage)'s ... endif 
scope ...but this didn't seem to do anything except perhaps give me an 
error when running pandoc IIRC...

In any event, here's what I added to my default.epub3:


<body$if(coverpage)$ id="cover"$endif$>
$if(coverpage)$
<div id="cover-image">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink=
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="100%" height="100%" 
viewBox="0 0 900 1200" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<image width="900" height="1200" xlink:href="../media/cover.png"/>
</svg>
</div>
$endif$

Obviously I'm not doing it right but I'm not sure how I could fix this.

Thanks,

SM
