Subject: Re: Setting the document language on the HTML tag in epub3
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 16:13:20 +0100	[thread overview]

I just tried to generate an epub (something I don't usually do) having 
set the `lang` variable to `sv` and as far as I can see every .xhtml 
file in the archive has an attribute `xml:lang="sv"`, and the default 
templates for both epub3 and epub2 have an `$if(lang)$ 
xml:lang="$lang$"$endif$` in the `html` tag.  So one or both of the 
following must be the case:

-  Your version of pandoc is outdated.
-  You are using a custom template which lacks the `$if(lang)$ 
xml:lang="$lang$"$endif$` in the `html` tag.

I suggest upgrading pandoc and/or adding the needed bit to you template.
