I thought you would like to know that there is a bug in many versions of Adobe ADE (as used in e.g., the Sony readers) which means the links in your Contents and List Of Illustrations do not work.
To fix them:
In the href, prefix bookmark names with a letter, e.g.,
<a href="mypage.htm#P001">
and then in the anchor is refers to, add an id attribute with the appropriate bookmark:
<a name="P001" id="P001"> |
Thanks for your suggestions.
It seems that ADE may be STRICTLY
enforcing the EPUB standard (much like epubcheck would do) and then REFUSES to implement any depreciated support. I feel their focus is too narrow-minded, just like their inability to turn-off page numbering (which is NOT part of the EPUB standard, but their chosen implementation of it... oh, well!
)
Per the EPUB standard, the naming of anchor names MUST now start with a letter and the XHTML can no longer use the <a name=> tag in favour of the <a id=> or embedded "id=" tag, so your suggestions are in fact required to comply with the EPUB standard. As a result, I've manually edited my .epubs and used a series of simple reg-ex's to implement your suggestions. I've uploaded the version 1.1 .epubs for your (or anyone else's) use.
Enjoy!
