Hi @kovidgoyal,

I am just starting to dive into the use of the epub:type attribute as I wanted to learn a bit more about it and its use, using this as a reference... https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-ssv/#sec-partitions

If I add one of these attributes, like <body epub:type="chapter">, and I don't add the namespace, then EPUBCheck gives the following error...

Code:

p01c21.xhtml ERROR(RSC-005): Error while parsing file: The prefix "epub" for attribute "epub:type" associated with an element type "body" is not bound.

So I need to add the namespace.

I initially started looking into this to experiment with the newer footnotes method of using the <aside> tag, but it does not seem to work on the Libra2, but thought I would continue learning about the attributes anyway.

Are you saying that the epub:type= attribute is not required/needed in epub v3?
