Description Stefan Krause 2009-03-08 11:09:42 UTC
EPUB is a open format for E-Books. Even though it is not really easy to create, its xml-based design enables a broad use. I expect a lot of wikimedia-related epubs, e.g. from wikipedia, wikisource or wikibook pages, which would be nice to store right in the projects near by its source.
Comment 1 JeLuF 2009-03-20 17:49:58 UTC
EPUB is a ZIP file containing (X)HTML files. We should not distribute these without sanitizing them first. Even though Javascript is not part of the EPUB specification, we can't be sure that browser plugins properly disable the browser's Javascript engine.

=> changed bug summary, keywords, product
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2009-03-20 17:54:20 UTC
Might be interesting, but as noted would need some special support for inline reading and sanitation etc.
Comment 4 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2010-05-22 01:30:34 UTC
There exists a tool to validate such files at http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/ which might be useful here.
Comment 5 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-01-09 19:56:23 UTC
I'm resetting the priority field. You really shouldn't be touching those unless you're a developer, and you definitely shouldn't mess with them without an explanation as to why.
