That's good to know, from @LauraB7 (on the BlueSky side, though): Adobe InDesign can, should, will handle MathML.

#EPUB + #InDesign = #accessibility

“The recent changes are very welcome but even more are needed before we can get an EPUB export out of InDesign that doesn’t require post-export editing. But there seems to be some momentum.” @LauraB7

(A kind of #eprdctn feed to initiate, I guess.)

OPF guide has been deprecated since EPUB 3.0 and removed from the standard since 3.1, but today we received an error message from a German publisher that the EPUBs we produced no longer work on Kindles from 2007. I don't think even Amazon supports these devices anymore. #eprdctn

A question for other #eprdctn professionals working with #ebooks / #epub and #accessibility :
Which ARIA role do you assign to a page like "Other works by this author"?

I use doc-bibliography (because it IS a bibliography of sorts) but I have a feeling that this is not the intended use for this role, seeing that the specs say "A list of external references cited in the work". What do you use for this scenario?

Seems like there's a new EPUBCheck, thanks for the heads up Apple
