Re: [AGENDA] EPUB 3 Working Group (EPUB3WG) Teleconference - 18 Dec 2020

Hi all,

Speaking about Readium toolkits (Mobile and Desktop) and the desktop Thorium Reader app:

>   A. Is your reading system capable of rendering EPUBs that contain HTML that is not well-formed XML? 

Yes, as all Readium toolkits are based on major web rendering engines. They belong to what could be called the "Open Web RS profile". 

The Readium Mobile iOS toolkit relies on Webkit (WKWebView).
The Readium Mobile Android toolkit relies on Chrome (WebView <https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView>).
The Readium Desktop toolkit relies on Chromium (via Electron.js).
And Thorium Reader relies on Readium Desktop. 

>   B. Is your reading system capable of ingesting such EPUBs?

Yes they are. 

To be sure, I created a very dirty EPUB from "wasteland" (which contains a unique spine item) by replacing the XHTML content by some random HTML tag soup. It would be good to have a proper sample, but until then ... it works on Thorium like a charm.   

Stay safe
Laurent
