[Sugar-devel] Sugar Activity template for HTML5/Enyo

[lionel at olpc-france.org]

Hi James,

 

I didn’t know that EPUB format could include JavaScript.

Enyo is fully in JavaScript/CSS. So it should be include in an EPUB.

BTW, I’m not sure to understand what could be done with this sort of
integration and the template.

 

                Lionel.

Gonzalo,

WebKit can do things that EPUB would not normally allow.  Project Gutenberg
makes EPUBs by taking the hand crafted web page and putting it in a Zip file
with some XML files.  On Read it looks just like the original web page.  On
a Kindle it might look just awful.

I don't know if the ENYO framework is entirely JavaScript (in which case it
could be included in the EPUB) or if it has some non-JS portions.  It
sounded to me like it did.  Those portions would need to be added to Read.

We already use webkit, then, we can use play javascript if needed.

I think epub2 standard does not allow javascript, I don't know epub3

What it sounds like you could do is incorporate the ENYO framework into the
Read Activity, then make EPUB format books that include JavaScript.  Since
Read uses WebKit it already renders EPUB books created from web pages (like
those from Project Gutenberg) better than Nooks and Kindles do, and having
some JavaScript on the pages would be a natural thing to experiment with.
