Ace is an accessibility checker:
EPUBCheck is a conformance checker:
Finally, as stated in both the readme page and the website, Ace is based on Deque's Axe. The Axe engine is run on the EPUB HTML content when running Ace, with a rule set slightly customised for EPUB. Note that in addition, Ace also runs EPUB-specific checks which are not provided by Axe.
I'll add a mention of EPUBCheck on the readme and the website, thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Hello ! I found this discussion while verifying whether I was doing redundant work by running EpubCheck AND Daisy ACE (we obviously want our epubs to be both accessible AND well formed).
From you answer above I understand that the epub checks section of ACE's test doesn't run EpubCheck. But I didn't see the mention you've proposed to put in the readme file?
Thanks for the information anyway !
The README should have something talking about the other big EPUB checker https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck
How does this compare? Also, since EPUB is basically HTML in a wrapper, folks like me might want to know if axe or HTML CS might be accessibility engines that could be used too.
