Does that mean we can't sell an ePub3 through Apple, which requires that our books pass ePubCheck? |
Maybe I should have been more precise. What I meant to say was that if you use:
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
and epub
3-only attributes, for example,
Code:
<span epub:type="pagebreak" id="page1">1</span>
in an ePub
2 book, both ePubCheck and Flightcrew will obviously complain about it.
If you convert an ePub2 book that passed ePubCheck with the Sigil ePub3 plugin you'll end up with a valid ePub3 book that also passes ePubCheck.
However, passing ePubCheck alone might not be sufficient for the iBook store, because Apple also requires ePub3 books to be
Apple Asset Guide-compliant; moreover iBooks is not fully ePub3 compliant.
