— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:01:33 - Extra interactions or more complex animations can be achieved in fixed layout EPUBs by adding web code and/or widgets to pages #eprdctn

— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:02:13 - I'm going to start with what exactly I mean by 'web code' and 'widgets' then go into the detail of the ways it can be added #eprdctn

— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:02:51 - I know some of the crowd here is going to want to know the coding side of things but I also have completely code free solutions #eprdctn

— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:03:17 - Also, for a bit of fun, I'm going to make a couple of widgets as we go along, place them into an EPUB and publish them online… #eprdctn

— Tina Henderson (@tinahender)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:09:52 - OK, that's good enough to start with :) #eprdctn

— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:09:47 - As you know EPUB3 is built on the open standards which are the foundations of the modern web. Namely HTML5, CSS3, JS, SVG and XML. #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659386660015181824
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:10:05 - So it follows that other pieces of web code written using these same languages are already compliant with the EPUB3 standard #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659386709994553344
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:10:17 - There is a little more to consider however, the EPUB standard requires all the code used must be INSIDE the EPUB package #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659386822234099714
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:10:43 - So no references allowed to externally held resources. That includes images, web fonts and other code files such as external CSS #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659386874780340224
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:10:56 - Also for valid EPUB every item needs to declared in the EPUBs OPF manifest, more on that later… #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659387061913452545
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:11:41 - But for self contained folders of well written web code they are allowed into the EPUB #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659387418496376832
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:13:06 - Web code can be placed as entire pages or objects on a page containing other objects such as surrounding text and graphics #eprdctn
https://twitter.com/CircularKen/status/659387536897417216
— Ken Jones (@CircularKen)Wed, Oct 28 2015 15:13:34 - For coders - placing web code into the fixed layout page is relatively easy. Position an iframe pointing to the an HTML page #eprdctn
