Hi,
There are stylesheet parameters for specifying the cover
information.
In the original epub stylesheet:
epub.cover.filename
epub.cover.id
epub.cover.html
epub.cover.image.id
epub.cover.linear
In the newer epub3 stylesheet:
epub.cover.filename
epub.cover.filename.id
epub.cover.image.id
epub.cover.linear
If those are set, you should get the correct cover elements in
the manifest file.

Subject: [docbook-apps] "missing cover" in docbook epub converted to
Amazon kindle .mobi file
I'm
using an epub generated from a Docbook transformed via ANT in Oxygen to create a
.mobi file for the Amazon Kindle (using Kindle Previewer). It
keeps giving me a "missing cover" warning, which is displayed over the cover
image. The
Kindle Previewer documentation says that the cover should be included this
way: Define
covers in the OPF file using the following tags:<metadata>...<meta
name="cover" content="my-cover-image" >...</metadata>
... <manifest>...<item
href="" id="my-cover-image" media-type="image/jpeg"
>...</manifest>But
I'm having trouble figuring out how to insert that into the DocBook file, or
into the ePub using Oxygen's Archive Browser. I think I would probably have to
insert that file in more than just the manifest folder. Also would it conflict
with the "cover.jpg" file that's already in the ePub?Any
suggestions? thanks! DC
