Fixed Layout EPUB where each page has a different size

I am trying to create an Epub file which has a fixed layout but not each page should have the same dimensions. Some pages should landscape others portrait. Can this be achieved with EPUB 3?

What do I have to change in the opf-file, stylesheets and/or each xhtml of a page to achieve this?

Thanks

Solution

  • You could achieve this by using different /manifest/itemref/@properties for different layout. See below example:

    <spine>
   ...
   <itemref idref="page01" properties="rendition:orientation-portrait"/>
   <itemref idref="page02" properties="rendition:orientation-landscape"/>
   ...
</spine>

    Please note @properties could only be used for epub3.
