Code List 196 - 13: Single logical reading order

Explanation

Code 13 indicates that the logical reading order of a publication is preserved.

In EPUB, the logical reading order is expressed both through the spine element, the' ordering of content documents, and through the markup of each content document. For audio books, the logical reading order is defined by the playlist of tracks.

The logical reading order of the publication must be clearly delineated in the markup. Footnotes, tables, images, sidebars and all similar secondary content must be marked up so that it can be navigated easily.
