InDesign - ePub export html files instead of xhtml
When I export my ePub book and crack it open the markup files are in xhtml. Whereas all the free books that I've downloaded on gutenberg.org have had html files inside them. Is there an option in InDesign to export the files as html? In case you were wondering why; I have written some JavaScript do do some ePub parsing and the javascript evaluate function works differently with xhtml.

The ePub standard requires xhtml 1.1 per the specification. This mean well formed tags in all places. Gutenberg text are likely xhtml even if their extensions are htm or html. The extension does not matter.

So far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, it is the following lines at the beginning of each file which sets the HTML as XHTML 1.1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> I haven't bothered to find how to make the HTML editor I use produce the files as .xhtml. But they still work and validate to W3C standards and with EPUB-Checker. |

The ereader will expect xhtml whether it is marked that way or not.
