iBooks & Gitden Questions

odedta · 08-31-2015, 02:10 PM

Hello everyone,

I made an ePub3 and tried it on Calibre, everything works fine. The problems are with iBooks and Gitden as follows:

1. iBooks: When you search for any word it works fine until the word itself is located in the next “page”. Search, Bookmarks and Notes. Illustration of the problem:

If you search for "a viverra libero mattis a" you should see the next page and these words highlighted, what really happens is that you are watching the previous page of where the <p> tag starts.

Code:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Vestibulum id nibh nisl. Nullam laoreet eget mi at porta. Mauris interdum orci vulputate laoreet elementum.Morbi in turpis tortor .Aenean aliquet ornare
-------------------- NEXT PAGE --------------------
 ipsum, a viverra libero mattis a.  Quisque lorem sem, fringilla et mauris nec, aliquet accumsan felis. Cras quis quam sed nulla lobortis commodo sed sed nisl.

Any ideas? is that a bug with iBooks? I am using iPad3 with latest versions of iOS and iBooks.

2. Gitden: If you use the latest version, Gitden doesn't honor the text-align: justify rule, have you encountered this problem? I even tried to apple inline style to the body, it looks right in Calibre and iBooks but Calibre fails to load it.

3. Gitden: I've stumbled across a weird problem where text from previous jumps into the next page when in landscape mode only, here is a screenshot of the problem:

I have tested it on Galaxy Tablet and Xiaomi Mi4, both showed the same thing.

This ePub3 is in compliance with standards and is validated with the idpf validator.

4. One last question: Is there some kind of drawback to using the <figure> <ficaption> tags?

Please help.

You are working above my payscale, but I'm interested in the script. What is it?

It's a book I make for a customer, the text is in Hebrew. If you're proficient in HTML5/CSS3 you can make ePub3 easy, if you're proficient in HTML4/CSS2 you can make ePub2 easy.

The real problem is when you try to get it working on a large number of devices, there are so many hacks I just lose track sometimes :/
