In the Zip file is a small website for offline reading. I'm copying your question to the IAEP list because there has been some discussion about making the Browse Activity able to work with offline websites stored in Zip files. </blockquote> </div> +1 Yep, this is on the roadmap for 0.86. It would open up using a whole new set of content directly through a well tagged Journal (no need at all for the old .xol format and it's non-standard use of browse to access the information through a custom scripted home page).</blockquote> <div> Great, so no need for us to put in any tickets or anything? Is there somewhere I can make a note of where these specific books are, they would make a great test case. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> --Gary <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im"> This is actually a more popular format than you might think. For instance, Project Gutenberg has a bunch of illustrated books in that format, for instance _The Innocents Abroad_ by Mark Twain is one. It is reasonable to assume that some future version of Browse will be able to work with Zip files like this one.

How hard to make a reader for these? Or would we do something completely different? <a href="http://bookbuilder.cast.org/library.php" target="_blank">http://bookbuilder.cast.org/library.php</a> </blockquote> </div> _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </blockquote> </blockquote></div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
