Qualebook

The source code of each page includes metadata defining the character set

Without a defined character set, reading systems may misinterpret or incorrectly render certain characters.

Objectives

  • Ensure that text is displayed correctly across all pages.

Implementation

  • Include a metadata tag specifying the character encoding in the <head> section of every page.

Control

  • Check the source code of the EPUB’s HTML pages to ensure a <meta> tag with a charset attribute is defined within the <head> section.

Validation

  • Reported by epubcheck.
