| Abstract: |
The development of e-books technology, with the emphasis on content readability and accessibility, raises the issue of mathematical layout optimisation. Although typographic formatting is successfully conducted by incorporating complex mathematical content in the form of bitmap images, such content is not accessible to text-to-speech technologies nor does it enable readability on small screens. For the purpose of creating dynamic and accessible mathematical layout, various e-book formats are analysed and EPUB3 format is presented as the only format meeting the requirements of openness, fluidity, support, accessibility and semantically correct mathematical type. The paper defines the realisation of EPUB e-books with emphasis on the optimal mathematical type using the Mathematical Markup Language. The problems of display, typographic formatting and dynamic layout are resolved through JavaScript functions depending on the rendering technologies of various e-readers on different platforms.
