Dynamically paginating .pub files in a UIWebView

Question

I upload files from .epubin UIWebViewto display. Currently .epubdivided into separate files for each chapter. To display the chapters, I simply upload these files to UIWebView. I am trying to figure out how to paginate them depending on the font size, style, etc. This is tricky because iOS indirectly accesses the content UIWebView. Is there a standard way to break it down?

I am thinking about grabbing the full contents of a chapter from a page using JS and then breaking each chapter into pages based on the length of the line and lines on the page, but this seems crazy and I am having trouble returning to UIWebViewas valid html or javascript. (The text contains single quotes, etc.)

Answer 1

Use UIWebView Pagination :)

myWebView.paginationMode = UIWebPaginationModeLeftToRight;
myWebView.paginationBreakingMode = UIWebPaginationBreakingModePage;
myWebView.gapBetweenPages = 50;

To scale fonts you need to enter css thru javascript for the webkit font scaling property

Answer 2

Use XmlHTTPRequest with "file: /// ... target" to load the content, it works.
