I specifically want to create my own template, but can't find where to do it. How for example to create a two-column format with a vertical line between the columns?
With the abscence of a manual for iBooks author (you'd think there's be an iBook for it?), I'm stuck on something that in usual Apple style, is probably really simple...
MacBook Pro 2.53GHz 8GB, 500GB-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPad 16G WiFi, iBook G4, Canon 1DmkII, 1Ds, ReadyNAS NV, iPhone
I'd be interested in good tutorials. I want to make interactive 2D images with my own shapes, but I'm not getting anywhere thus far.
I think you can include HTML5 elements, that will be the way to do that, unless you just want to add simple callouts.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see any manual you make. Keep us posted somehow!!
Hmmmh... this didn't work for me. Not sure what I'm missing.
So glad to hear this Steve - the documentation is woefully poor for a company currently valued at $482 Billion
Any suggestions on changing the column spacing in a template? I'm stuck on that (and for what its worth how to stupulate the RIGHT answer in Review Widgets!)
TP
OK slved the columsn issue - sorry - was non obvious! As for the myseterious "drop target" in the review widget... all is slient on the forums!
How can I get sub and superscript figures? Thanks for your advice.

Best to start a new topic for such a question rather than tag onto 3 pages of a totally different discussion.
Select your figure and then do Format > Font > Baseline
At the bottom of the Edit menu select Special Characters. Select the Preferences (gear) menu top left and click on Customize LIst. Expand the Code Tables menu and check to the Unicode Box. Click Done. Select the Unicode palette and scroll down to the 2070 (hex) series where you've find the superscripts ⁰ ⁱ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ ⁿ and the 2080 series for subscripts ₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉ ₊ ₌ ₍ ₎ . Double click to insert the one you want. Go back to 00B09 for superscript one ¹, 00B02 is superscript two ² and 00B03 is superscript three ³.
If you're including a lot of math consider buying and installing MathType which works with iBooks Author.
Thank you so much! Most useful information.
Hi Steve,
I just stumbled upon this thread and I'm very interested in the iBook tutorial you're creating... how's it going? 🙂
Steve -- any idea when your Guide to iBooks Author Templates will be published? We could use that!
mark me down for a copy when you're ready Steve. I have a template for a printed book that I created in Pages (took a few hours) that I would dearly love to transfer to Author. I suspect it won't be as simple as importing the body text :-)
It's almost finished. I'm putting together the last chapter now and then it goes out for revision. So far there's five chapters, about 64 pages long. What would you like to see in the book?

Is there a way to delete the TOC? I'd like to make a relatively simple book that doesn't need one.
Yes
Locate TOC in INSPECTOR and delete all the entries that IA uses to make a TOC.
You do that by highlighting them and then pressing the minus sign bottom left.
