Re: pandoc markdown to epub conversion - customize EPUB/text/cover.xhtml

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

The cover page uses the default.epub3 (or .epub2)
template, but with the coverpage variable set to
true.  So you can use a custom template that
changes what is inserted when that variable is set.

The template variable epub-cover-image should
contain the image file name.
