File Formats: Electronic Publication (ePub)

Note: This format is supported only in Document/Medical.

EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the different display devices used by the different readers. Devices such as the iPad can display EPUB-formatted books. The format is meant to function as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. The format was designed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).

A portion of the ePub filter is based on the pugixml library ( https://pugixml.org/ ). pugixml has a Copyright (c) 2006-2010 by Arseny Kapoulkine.
