So it should work even if the book doesn't include any kind of the new and improved ncx-like whatever ToC format (because as already said it's not an epub3 book but an epub2 one...). So it should work with the repeated toc entries which are explicitly mentioned in epub2+ncx spec, ( unless I'm making some mistake somewhere). |
EPUB3 compliant rendering engines will attempt to render EPUB2 content. But there is a gotcha -- there are several areas where the standard changes how the renderer behaves. This would be like expecting your HTML5 web browser to display HTML4 code exactly as a HTML4 web browser would.
There is quite a bit of information on generating EPUB3 and EPUB2/3 books available so I am not going to waste both our time re-inventing the wheel.
