I do tend to shoot from the hip. And I'm reasonably good at it. Always have been.
Thank you. I should have figured that one out on my own.
A no downloads no install first epub3 reader will be interesting. I'm having fun too. I think I've past half way on this project.
I'm already displaying chaper.xhtml output. The TOC is still broken. But getting there. I spent five years working with Java xpath and XML databases (Exist, SleepyCat etc) so it is up my alley.
The bibi (
https://github.com/satorumurmur/bibi) ebook reader mentioned earlier is vaguely similar and interesting. With Bibi an ebook can be unzipped on the server and displayed to all without requiring the user to manually download anything and without installing software. But Bibi cannot be made to work without sending html head and body elements, so it cannot be displayed as part of a global CMS layout. It cannot be shown as the contents of a div. Not without using an IFRAME anyway.
IFRAME is ok for video players but for mixed HTML output they bring too much baggage. What I'm doing is almost ready to put on sourceforge. And it will be useful.
