We’re on a roll - EPUB 3.4 is coming
The Publishing Maintenance Working Group at W3C has been quietly working on yet another update for the EPUB3 standard, and we're excited to share what we have been up to. Our goal is to not only maintain the EPUB standard, but do our best to keep it in line with the needs of industry, and this update does exactly that. Your existing books do not need to change, if they conform to previous EPUB versions, they will conform to EPUB 3.4. Content you create today will automatically conform as well.

EPUB and HTML - Survey results and next steps
Published:
By: Wendy Reid, co-Chair of the Publishing Maintenance Working Group and Susan Neuhaus, co-Chair of the Publishing Maintenance Working Group
Mid-2025, the Publishing Maintenance Working Group (PMWG) ran a survey in the publishing community to ask: should we allow HTML in EPUB? The survey results and their discussions were invaluable in helping decide to not add HTML to EPUB 3.4, and to take a new approach on HTML and digital publications.
