Third party CSS and EPUBCheck

[Ric Wright]

I’m writing an EPUB tutorial book on using WebGL with EPUB (just for fun and as an example for the Readium samples page).  It leverages three.js so I have a whole bunch of JS examples in the book.  I wanted to make it look good so I am using prism-js.  It works great inside the EPUB but when I run epubcheck I get this error:

ERROR(CSS-001): ./Sandbox-NeHe-EPUB.epub/EPUB/css/prism.css(14,2): The 'direction' property must not be included in an EPUB Style Sheet.

I don’t want to go in an hack prism’s JavaScript.  It seems rude of EPUBCheck to complain about third party libraries like this.  Is there a way to work around this?  I can get the non-minified version and modify it, but that seems rude. Not to mention I have keep repeating it.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Ric

 Is there a way to work around this?  

Apart from disabling the check in the source and re-building EpubCheck, I don't think so. :(

Best,

Romain.

Prism JS's author, Lea Verou (who's on the CSSWG) just commented that she's OK with removing this.

Excellent

Thanks Dave

I edited my copy of the code but it's nice to know it will be official .   :-)

I think prism already made the fix, and closed the issue  

The system works! :)

Yes, I downloaded the new version and it is clean.

Thanks
