EPUB (in version 3.3 as of 2023-12-21) is a container for ebooks using ZIP for its archive and compression. Most of the content is XHTML or media (usually graphics).
Contents
- There must be a file mimetype in the toplevel containing the string application/epub+zip
- There must be a directory META-INF in the toplevel containing:
- container.xml specifies one or more rootfiles, using their locations relative to the toplevel:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <container xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container" version="1.0"> <rootfiles> <rootfile full-path="PATHPATHPATH" media-type="application/oebps-package+xml"/> </rootfiles> </container>
EPUB-specific markup
Ensure you've referenced xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops in your html tag.
When using reflowable EPUB, there's no real concept of a page, and thus no real concept of footnotes. One can move them to the end of a chapter, but an arguably better solution is a popup. Enclose the footnote text in an aside tag ala:
<aside epub:type="footnote" id="SOMEID">
<div class="footnote"><a href="#CALLSITE">*</a> Footnote text.</div>
</aside>
Use of epub:type="footnote" ought result in the text being hidden. Wrap the callsite with an a tag:
<a epub:type="noteref" href="#SOMEID" id>Callsite text.</a>
