I know this isn't very sophisticated or enterprising, but I just follow
convention for the frontmatter, as Alan says, and write it directly
myself without using any sort of semi-automated process.

This is for printed books. As regards conversion to ebook format, I've
done this for several books on Smashwords, but that is quite a
long-winded process because it has to be Word.doc format, which I do in
LibreOffice (not much fun). Kindle does accept rtf, which would help,
but as I'd already made Word.doc files I just used those.
