Hello Tom,
the id attribute in ant is generally used to reference types, for instance
<fileset dir="src" id="srcfileset"/>
yo need to define properties to do what you want like :
<property name="contact.root" location="${toString:output}/contact-sheet"/>
<property name="contact.id" location="${contact.root}/${id}"/>
<property name="contact.metainf" location="${contact.id}/META-INF"/>
<property name="contact.oebps" location="${contact.id}/OEBPS"/>
<mkdir dir="${contact.root}"/>
<mkdir dir="${contact.id}"/>
<mkdir dir="${contact.metainf}"/>
<mkdir dir="${contact.oebps"/>
Regards,
Antoine
