[Athen] Production of EPUB 3 Content?

[George Kerscher]

Hi,

EPUB 3 has support for MathML, but which reading systems support it is still
up in the air. It seems that iBooks has some. We are working on the open
source reader under Readium, which Bookshare is supporting.

Pipeline 2 supports conversions to EPUB 3. I can put you in touch with
developers and the open source efforts.

Best
George

Hi George,

In your e-mail, you wrote the following:

 > Other significant improvements have been introduced since

Does this mean that there is support for mathematical equations in ePub 
3 with the Tobi tool or is this just referring to the support for MathML 
in DAISY books?  Will there be support for converting DTBook documents 
with MathML content into ePub 3 files with other DAISY tools?

Thanks,
Sean
