Header and Footer in EPUB
Hi,
I think that as of now there is no E-reader to support "Header and Footer" of "HTML5 & CSS3" styles in EPUB3. I need to include "Header" text on each page of the EPUB (Header text may vary from chapter to chapter) 1. Is there any other way to include the "Header" text in EPUB2 or EPUB3? If available, kindly share with me in detail. 3. Does the following codes of "page-template.xpgt" work in some other (ADE alone) E-reader (Ipad, Nook, Kobo, etc.)? Code for Header and Footer: --------------------------------------- <ade:style> <ade:styling-rule selector=".header" display="adobe-other-region" adobe-region="xsl-region-before"/> <ade:styling-rule selector=".footer" display="adobe-other-region" adobe-region="xsl-region-after"/> </ade:style> Thanks, Raja.

Ad 1. Yes there is. In fact, there is a specific style for it: oeb-page-head and oeb-page-foot. However, most (all?) reading applications are ignoring it.
Ad 3. No, they are specifc for Adobe. But it will not result in a header or footer anyway. Where is your number 2? |

Some time ago I tested this technique to create headers and footers with the page-template file. If you want to take a look, here's the link to the ePUB: http://www.pagelab.com.br/Headers-fo...xperiment.epub
It kinda works on ADE and it's ignored on iBooks, but it's a very complicated/deprecated way of doing it and will bloat your code with duplicated paragraph tags... Not really a solution. |

This doesn't use oeb-page-head, it's another old technique: adobe-regions (xls-fo). Anyway, the solution isn't very practical, looks like there's no future for it.

The best way to deal with headers/footers in ePub is just to pretend headers/footers don't actually exist.
