== Description ==

[[RePub]] is a file format that is [https://support.google.com/producer/answer/6203950?rd=1 used by Google Newsstand Producer], an online platform that allows publishers to prepare content for the Google Play Newsstand app. The format is based on [[EPUB]] v2, and was adapted from the [[Barnes & Noble Fixed-layout Format]]. RePub supports two reading modes:

1. ''Replica View'' - replicates the original (print) magazine layout using full-screen images for each page.
2. ''Text View'' - a reflowable representation of the text and images of an article.

A Replica page can refer to one or more text articles. Replica pages and text articles are linked through a <code>replicaMap.xml</code> resource. This allows users of the Newsstand app to navigate from a replica page to the corresponding text articles. Apart from the Replica Map and the page images, a [[RePub]] file is a regular [[EPUB]] that should pass validation in EpubCheck.
