HTML5 for Publishers

BySanders Kleinfeld

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
