Re: Discover new usage of epub

Thanks for try it out Ivan!

Lemme also try out it with EPUBReader extension. Maybe it's time to add 
simple Q&A on the website now.


Yeah, wysebee allows javascript to run as content creator wish so I 
think that might be the secret for this book. (probably can 
convert/package all the W3C spec to epub and run on wysebee now)

Also it could be because the tool https://github.com/gardenia-corp/wyse 
generated epub does not have fallback for html resource so it was 
treated as invalid epub by some reader. I will also check it out.


Another thing is I added sandbox feature in wysebee.com so next thing I 
am gonna try out is to drop the epub test contents (from 
https://github.com/w3c/epub-tests) to it and see if could pass some test 
(I suspect it could only pass few of them right now).


Also, epub validation tool is on the way I wish I could have 30 hrs 
every day, I need to hire dev :)


Cheers,

Zheng
