I am hoping this is the correct section in which to paste this question, which is almost certainly very simple, but I know next to nothing about html and epub coding.
I have noticed that I have quite a number of books where the html has coding in it like this:
<?pagebreak number="2"?><a id="p2>
Often this coding can be found in the very middle of a sentence.
Some reading apps I have seem to ignore the coding and present the text correctly. However, others leave a space in the presented text where the coding exists in the html, thus presenting a sentence looking like this:
They came to bury poor King Edward, trundling handcarts over the cobbled streets or carrying tuck
boxes like little coffins.
My guess is that it is some form of coding which certain reader apps do not understand, but I am probably completely wrong. Can someone explain to me in very basic terms what is going on?
Thanks
