Maybe I should add :first-letter and :first-line to the ePub reader test...

Hi:

I could swear that somewhere, in one of the discussions, either here or over on the Sigil list, someone said that they had, and I was trying to follow up. I thought it might be you, but obviously not. It works fine in iPad--but I haven't had any luck getting it to work in ADE or Nook; I discussed this with Liz C. about a year ago (?), and she said she hadn't at the time, but if someone here had, I thought I'd inquire. Thanks anyway, Jellby.

I can't remember reading that and I think I would. It would be great if it was supported...

You cannot just specify the iPad as a reader. You have to specify which app you are using with the iPad. The iPad is not just iBooks. It's also got Bluefire Reader (better then iBooks).

Wolfie:

When I say "iPad," I only mean iBooks. I'm not testing somewhat obscure (to my clientele) reading apps.

Then say iBooks. iPad is a generic term and can mean any number of reading apps. Blurefire is not obscure as it uses ADE and I've not seen anything fail in Bluefire that ADE for Windows handles correctly.

Whatever. I think I was clear in saying "...obscure (to my clientele) reading apps."

I think JSWolf was stating that since we are not (or at least I don't think we are) your clientele, a little more precision in your state would help us out understanding what you meant


(going back to play with docs to see if the latest version of RMSDK will respect :first-letter)

Many people say the iPad has problems with eBooks when it's not the iPad but the iBooks app that has the problems. It just causes confusion and is not actually correct.

Wow! A Wolf interpreter. You are most welcome here, as many of us have longed for such a thing for forever. ;-)

If you can get:

• first-letter
• first-line
• and, while I'm wishing, a raised initial span adjacent to a smallcaps span to work in ePUBs on Nook,

You can interpret all you want! I know I'd be ecstatic, myself, I'm sick of making two ePUBs for a book that should not be needed. It's pesky that even KF8 will use it, although obviously not KF6/7, but NOT Nook, which of course is a big part of the market.
