We use the DAISY Pipeline2 to convert DTBooks to EPUB3.  In the DAISY, we represent the text direction in pages using the dir attribute in the dtbook element.  What does that get transformed to in the EPUB3 output?  I was hoping to find the dir atttribute in the resulting body or html element but I'm having some trouble locating it.

Thanks,

Caden

Hello Caden,

It looks like the attribute currently just gets ignored. With a fix I have made locally, the attribute will get copied to the "html" elements of the resulting XHTML content documents. Will that do?

Kind regards,
Bert

Yes, I think that's the most logical way to carry it over.  Thanks for looking at this!

Hi Bert,

What would be the best action for me to take to see this get incorporated into a future release of the DAISY pipeline?  Should I open an issue in the GitHub DAISY/pipeline-scripts project?

Thanks,

Caden
