Yes, with a nuance: this includes also Android based e-readers (I know one, from ArtaTech, a Polish company). Rather the exception than the norm. > >>> Otherwise render it to an image and include the image. >> Warning; this is an accessibility killer. > > Yes indeed. But while standalone (non-browser-engine) readers offer little support, the options are limited. MathML with a fallback image is a path forward. >>> Readers can't even display simple CSS correctly, >> Again, a clear separation must be made between e-readers (which don't support CSS in all its splendor) and reading apps using browser engines. > That too, but my concern is with e-readers which do not use browser engines. This is the core of the issue: mixing Kindle (which stands alone in the middle of the room), EPUB e-readers with a specific rendering engine and reading apps based on browser engines. Discussion on each subject related to EPUB layout should be carefully split between these different categories. > > Peter > Best, Laurent
