Hi,
currently, I'm trying to understand some design decisions around the
EPUB2 stylesheets:
1. base.dir
HTML files are generated relative to base.dir, but the OEBPS and
META-INF directories are _not_ created relative to base.dir but
rather relative to the current working directory (if
Thomas,
Is there any reason why not to use the epub3 stylesheets?
As far as I can tell epub2 stylesheets are not being actively maintained. Bob
has done an awesome job with epub3 and thy should be readable by older devices
out of the box.

Thanks for your answer Carlos.
Well, I'm not sure if EPUB3 is that widespread than EPUB2. Older
EPUB readers does probably not support EPUB3, so I
EPUB3 is not read fully by any player on the market.
Better use EPUB2 for then moment.

How do you define read fully?
How do you ensure forward compatibility so that the readers that support epub3
will get a similar reading experience?

I think that EPUB3 stylesheets emits a lot of code which guarantees good
functionality in older readers. I have no problems with EPUB3 output

Hi,
this is a follow-up from my last mail about EPUB2*, however in
regards to the EPUB3 stylesheets (version 1.78.1). Maybe I miss
something important. Anyway, here is the situation:

Hi Eric,
The line break after your Optional text happens because the para element
processed by the xsl:apply-templates generates its own nested fo:block,
which starts on a new line.
The trick here is to get the optional text inside the block of the first
para of the step, which can be

Hi Jirka,
The chunked HTML output of the MySQL Reference Manual (see e.g.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/index.html) took about 12 hours
to build, as opposed to the single-file output which takes just about
3 hours. The remaining 9 hours were entirely spent on chunking the HTML
with
Hi,
Try setting base.dir to foo/OEBPS/. That will put META-INF, mimetype, and
OEBPS in foo/, which is what I think you want.
As you know, the stylesheets write HTML output to $base.dir. The default
setting for base.dir in epub3 is OEBPS/. For the other epub files that
are not in the HTML
some of those files won't read.

Hi,
I was concerned about epub2 readers when writing the epub3 stylesheets. The
EPUB3 standard includes provisions for backwards compatibility with epub2
readers, such as including the .ncx file and various metadata items. The
DocBook epub3 stylesheet tries to use all those features, so most

That's not surprising. On larger documents Saxon usually scales much

HI Shlomi,
Your .xslt file is trying to do two things at once, and it won't work as
written. It seems you need to preprocess the XML to alter the legalnotice,
but you should do that step *before* processing it to generate epub output.

The page numbers are not handled by the simple.xlink template, but by the
