ePub files with table tr td #46

Closed jagadeesanb closed 12 years ago

jagadeesanb commented 12 years ago

We have problems customizing monocle to suit for ePub files with TABLE, TR, TD tags.. Then we found that none of monocle ePub sample files has those tags, could someone explain why? Thanks!

No reason, I just don't work with many books with tables. I can investigate if you describe these problems.

jagadeesanb commented 12 years ago

We have been trying to customize to implement features like bookmarks, highlights and search... We face two problems when the books have tables:

1) When (custom) searching, we cannot navigate to the precise search result location when the searched item is available within a table in a paragraph or within a paragraph in a table.

2) When adding a note or bookmark, we attach it to a unique html tag and treat this as ID. This way, we could reload them when the book is reloaded. Now, we have problem locating the unique html tags.

Please advise.

From the description, it sounds like the problems you're having relate to a layer of functionality you're implementing above Monocle. It's not clear where Monocle can assist with this. Perhaps you could isolate the simplest possible test-case demonstrating the problem, either in a gist or in a commit to the test/bugs directory.

Joseph,

Thank you for your reply. You are right, we are trying to customize Monocle to add some more features and the layer could most probably obstruct the expected behavior. We will come up with the simplified version and demonstrate the problem, or will let you know if we found a fix.

Regards, Jagadeesh

I'm closing this as 'answered'. But please re-open if you do come up with that simplified version or fix.
