Specifications: OeBPS Version 1.2

Open eBook Publication Structure Specification Version 1.2

OEBPS 1.2 is the current Recommended Specification (released 27 August 2002), superceding OEBPS 1.0.1.

(For general information about OEBPS, refer to the OEBPS Specification FAQ.)

OEBPS 1.2 is a tightly constrained update to the prior version (OEBPS 1.0.1): it provides a great deal of new functionality in the area of presentation control, including, among other things, improvements in the Basic markup vocabulary (now a pure subset of XHTML 1.1), and greatly expanded CSS support. Significant effort and care was taken to maximize compatibility of this version with existing OEBPS 1.0.1 content. Further details regarding the changes made in 1.2 from 1.0.1 are found in the Specification document itself.

We also provide the OEBPS 1.2 Specification in the following popular document formats:
