EPUB 3 - Navigation Document and NCX Disagree

A book whose two navigation surfaces tell different stories: the NCX reorders the chapters, omits one, and points at a chapter9.xhtml that does not exist, while nav.xhtml is correct. For testing which surface a reader trusts and how it handles a dead NCX target.

EPUB 3 - Navigation Document and NCX in Agreement

EPUB 3 - Reflowable Twin of the Fixed-Layout Book

The reflowable twin of the fixed-layout plate book: rendition:layout is reflowable, nothing is absolutely positioned, and the text is free to rewrap. Use it as the control when checking whether a reader honours the pre-paginated flag or silently reflows everything.

EPUB 3 - Right-to-Left Arabic (page-progression-direction)

An EPUB 3 in Arabic that declares page-progression-direction="rtl" in the spine, dir="rtl" on the body, and a right-aligned stylesheet. Paired with a left-to-right control carrying the same structure, so a reader's page-turn direction can be checked rather than assumed.

EPUB 3 - Right-to-Left Hebrew

The right-to-left case again in an unconnected script: Hebrew, with the same rtl spine direction and body dir. Arabic shaping and Hebrew ordering fail independently, so a reader that handles one is not proven to handle the other.

EPUB 3 - Scripted Content with the scripted Property

An EPUB 3 whose one content document declares properties="scripted" and contains a single inline script that rewrites one paragraph. It makes no network request and reads correctly with scripting switched off, so it tests the property and the fallback rather than the script.

EPUB 3 - Spine Where Every Item Is linear="no"

The pathological spine: every itemref is marked linear="no", so the book declares no default reading order at all. For testing what a reader opens to when the sequence it was going to page through is empty.

EPUB 3 - UTF-16 Package Document

The package document is encoded as UTF-16 little-endian with a byte order mark while the content documents stay UTF-8 - a combination EPUB permits and almost nothing tests. For finding the parser that opens the OPF as UTF-8 and sees a file full of null bytes.
