Is rendition:align-x-center allowed as a manifest meta? #1380
Comments
There's always been a question of whether anyone has implemented it. It goes beyond just where to place the spine item and requires the reading system to center the content within the page. See https://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/NakaTobira_01 We might want to consider deprecating it if it's not actually in use. |
But it's not a global property, as it just doesn't make sense outside the noted use case. |
Let me confirm the current status in Japan before deprecated because it was proposed from Japan, I think. |
I did not dispute that. But this is the only rendition property I found that was defined on a spite element only, and it is worth emphasizing that. |
At the time of proposing this specification, Japanese publishers had to make trial and error of complicated description methods to realize this function. Sample: Markup CSS div.chapt { I have created a sample using rendition: align-x-center in the past. https://github.com/toshiakikoike/epub-testsuite/tree/master/content/30/epub30-test-0130 I checked the implementation status of some RSs with this file. Implemented Not implemented |
As Koike-san mentioned, 'align-x-center' can be deprecated, I think. |
From the Readium developer community: this is not supported in Readium software. Long time ago we've logged the issue in our Wiki. Support in EPUB files is so poor that there were conversations about how it was a mistake to have such presentation features in the OPF instead of via CSS expressions. |
The issue was discussed in a meeting on 2021-02-26

Closing this issue per the meeting minutes. Deprecation can be raised separately and/or we'll have to deal with this when it comes time to find implementations. |
The definition in §4.3.3.3.2 says:
This suggests that this property is meaningful on an item reference only. In other words:
or something similar is not allowed. I think that should be stated explicitly.
