sisu epub output for certain content works in some epub readers (found on
debian) but not in others. The epub generated on for example in the markup
sample provide:
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst
sisu -ev \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst
can be viewed in calibre, but not in either fbreader or okular
It appears that some epub readers are more demanding about the xhtml they
render. The cause of the problem appears to be an un-escaped line break
(<br> instead of a <br />) once this has been corrected epub documents
generated can be read by the epub readers tested.
The un-escaped occurs in sisu metadata, which is apparently not properly xhtml
"sanitized". More specifically the library param.rb sets line-breaks on
metadata in relation to rights, which epub does not properly mark-up. (with the
result that, calibre reads it without problem; fbreader fails to open it;
okular crashes!)
(this brought to my attention, I report against the package for which I am also
upstream)
A patch will follow (2.6.3-5) together with an unblock request for Squeeze.
SiSU produces multiple outputs, one of which is EPUB.
