Text Formatting

eBookTools is designed to make the formatting in the output consistent and uniformly controlled by the appropriate style sheet. As a result, the following limitations apply to the formatting made in the worksheet:

• 

Color: All color applied to text and table backgrounds is ignored. Color for Maple input, output, errors, and warnings is controlled by the corresponding settings.

• 

Font: Only the Courier New and Monospaced fonts are preserved, and other font choices are ignored.

• 

Maple Code: Maple code, both 1D and 2D, must be enclosed in an execution group.

• 

Spacing: For paragraph styles, only the Left Margin indent property of the paragraph is used.

• 

Whitespace: Extra whitespace is ignored in the text, but is preserved for monospaced fonts.

Additional Notes

• 

Equation labels will be numbered using flat numeric formatting prefaced by the chapter number.  (For example, the 10th equation in chapter 2 will be labeled (2.10).)

• 

Code edit regions will be expanded in the output.

• 

Embedded data table components and math expression components will not display any content in the output.

• 

Windows specific limitations:

– 

only the following characters are allowed in the book name: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space " ", comma ",", period ".", underscore "_" and dash "-".

– 

in order to specify non-English characters for title and copyright use the eBook Publisher Assistant.
