#74 ePub: large pop-out table has erroneous characters

[Jonathan Martyn]

[Submitter: Jonathan Martyn]

Rendering to alternative output produces an ePub file that works really quite well when opened using Calibre. There is a problem, however, where the text contains a large, class=wide table that is displayed when you click on the ‘View table’ link that appears instead of the table.

The table opens in a new window when you click on this link, but there are some rogue characters in it. For example:
<Table> ... <Paragraph>Reader[NBS]text extract[NBS]– ‘Investigating…’ Introduction</Paragraph>

comes out as

Reader text extract – ‘Investigating…’ Introduction

In this example the non-breaking spaces are necessary to get the desired layout when the item is rendered to print and to the VLE.

I have attached a screenshot showing the problem, If you would like a link to the zip file containing the contents of the folder that was generated by the alternative render, plus the Word file that this output was actually rendered from then please contact me.

If you need any more details just shout.

Many thanks

J.
