So, I mentioned back in February that I was working on a couple of tweaks. I think I'm about ready to deploy them, but before doing so, I figured I'd post a note here and see if anybody has any other suggestions.
I've continued puttering with Unpretty to fine-tune the output, and the latest changes include consideration for EPUB3's SECTION and NAV elements. Otherwise, not a whole lot to see there.
The other significant change is, perhaps surprisingly, to StripKobo, which now also removes Google Play bloat. I know of two such markers, but would be interested to know if anyone else knows of others:
1. In text: <a id="GBS.0001.01"/>
The numbers change, but these anchors are just dead weight in normal readers, since nothing in the book refers to them. Perhaps Google has an app that uses them for something; I don't know. My current beta routine simply removes these, the same way it would a <b/> element.
2. At the top or bottom of pages: <div style="display:none;"><a id="GBS.0001.01"/></div>
Same as above; these get completely removed as well.
At present, I see no need to make a separate "StripGooglePlay" routine, especially when StripKobo serves the same purpose (for a different store) and I can just add one line to it to handle Google Play books at the same time.
So, while the window is open, does anybody have anything to add?
