Re: Entry page example with links to WAM/RWPM

Hadrien,

thank you.

Just some technical questions, for my understanding.

1. There is a reference to the WAM. What are the Web Application/WAM functionalities of the browser that you exploit there?

2. I guess the "magic" that we were discussing lies in the following entry in the HTML file:

<a href="https://hadriengardeur.github.io/webpub-manifest/examples/viewer/?manifest=true <https://hadriengardeur.github.io/webpub-manifest/examples/viewer/?manifest=true>&amp;href=https://hadriengardeur.github.io/webpub-manifest/examples/why/manifest.json">

I.e., the answer to our question "what happens when one gets to the starting page" is that the user has to actively click to get a specific reader running which relies on the specific manifest.

Do I interpret it right?

Thanks

Ivan
