HTML5 is revolutionizing the Web, and now it’s coming to your ebook reader! In this
book, I give an overview of three areas of HTML5 that offer great promise to ebook
publishers looking to expand beyond traditional text-and-graphic narratives: Canvas,
Geolocation, and Audio/Video. After a brief tutorial of the HTML markup and Java‐
Script code used to implement these features, I transition into some examples that put
HTML5 in action:
• A graphing calculator to display algebraic equations on the Canvas
• A children’s finger-painting application for drawing pictures on the page
• A geolocated work of fiction customized with details about the reader’s current
location
• An audio-enabled glossary that lets you click to hear the pronunciation of each term
• Embedded video content within instructional text to supplement a lesson
• An interactive MathML quadratic equation solver
• An SVG-based coloring book
