daisy-player 1.0

[David B Andrews]

Just to be clear:  the DAISY standard does make possible detailed navigation of a publication, however, the navigation structure must be included by the producer of the book.  

Traditionally, the player developers, both hardware and software have supported more navigation than most book producers have coded into their publications.

This is because it is a lot of work, and the book production tools are still developing * I think.

What do you mean by "structural navigation"?

Pratik Patel Responds:

Joe, DAISY supports much more detailed navigation than  by page.  Sections,
headings, illustrations, tables, sentences, phrases etc.  Janina wants to
know if your navigation supports these additional elements.
