Madlibs possible in ePub?

savvos · 01-02-2012, 10:19 PM

Is it possible to create a Madlibs-type book in ePub, where users can enter in words that then appear in specified locations later in the ePub document? I did a search of the Apple iBook store and couldn't find any Madlib examples, so I was wondering if this is even possible with the format. It would be great if someone has a workaround that I could use.

Thanks.

It might be possible with HTML5 and javascript. Be aware, that it will only be working then on ePUB3 readers (which are rare) and possibly iBooks.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll try again in a year or two when ePUB3 is more commonly supported.
