E-book conversion is a challenge that requires each publisher to map out a strategic plan, often in partnership with an outside vendor. For Cengage, this meant focusing on three "families" of formats: PDF-based, EPUB and XML. A DocBook-based XML schema, Brooks says, best accommodates the various complex elements that go into textbooks—charts, graphs, images that span pages and so forth. EPUB 3, also XML based, has the potential to work as well as DocBook for technical titles. "We are looking at taking some of our more complex titles with MathML embedded in it and turning it into EPUB 3 just to see what it looks like," Brooks says.
