Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I normally try and figure things out myself as that is faster than trying to get help somewhere but after spending countless hours reading and trying to figure this out I thought it wouldn't hurt for me to pick some brains on this
.
Here is what I think I know so far...(I am working on my first book and wanting to create it as an EPUB3).
EPUB2 uses CSS2 and HTML inside. But, and here is where it gets a bit confusing right off the bat, the HTML must be in XHTML format but having an extension of...well...HTML?
EPUB3 uses CSS3 and HTML5 but it too must be in XHTML format?? If so what brand of XHTML? And the extension of the HTML5 (or is it XHTML files) must be...hmm...HTML again?
Can one create an EPUB3 file with plain ol HTML5 and CSS3 without the XHTML business?
What is the difference between XHTML and HTML5?
Is HTML5 just the latest and greatest HTML while XHTML is...I dunno
Among the hats I have worn in the past is that of a web developer so I am very familiar with CSS and HTML (even PHP) but hardly at all with XHTML and HTML5.
Any insight on any of this gobbly gook anyone might care to share with me would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Carlos
