How to embed ISBN in EPUB file

How to embed ISBN in EPUB file

[CR]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1887 bytes --]

I write or convert books to Markdown using a YAML block. Each book could be 
multiple Markdown files but the YAML block is always at the top of the 
first Markdown file. I'd like to embed the book ISBN (if it has one) in the 
EPUB itself but I don't know how to write that in MMD. 

Is there a way to embed the ISBN in the EPUB file using Markdown? Or some 
other method?

Thank you.

This is all the YAML that is supported by Pandoc as far as I know.

Pandoc YAML docs are here: 
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#creating-epubs-with-pandoc

Ok, is this how to do it in the YAML block in the MMD file?
- scheme: ISBN10
  text: 1234567988




Another question: does Pandoc do any validation of the format of the ISBN10 
or ISBN13 number? I'm not asking Pandoc to look the ISBN up in a database, 
just to do a general check on the length of the ISBN and format.

Ok I'm seeing that Pandoc is not putting the ISBN-10, ISBN-13 or DOI number 
from the YAML block into the EPUB. It should be in the content.opf file but 
I'm not seeing it. 

Here's my markdown file with YAML block called 'superscript.md'. I was 
testing the markdown superscript the other day.

# Chapter 1

This is a normal chapter.

# Chapter 2

This is subscript: H~2~O

This is superscript: 10^5^

## I. The Holographic Field Aspects of the Universe

Now we add a footnote after the superscript.[^footnote]

This is superscript after calling out the footnote: 10^5^

## A Look At Human Memory



The human brain is estimated to be able to store »
information in the quantity between 1x10^11^ (one hundred
trillion) and 2.8 x 10^20^ (280 quintillion) bits of
information.

[^footnote]: this is the footnote here.


Here's my batch file to produce the Epub. 
set outfile=superscript.epub
c:\chuck\ebook\pandoc\pandoc --from=markdown_mmd+backtick_code_blocks+
yaml_metadata_block+line_blocks+auto_identifiers+superscript+subscript  --to
=epub -o %outfile% superscript.md
copy superscript.epub superscript.zip


The DOI in the EPUB will be critical if I convert an article into an EPUB 
file. The DOI is the universal locator for that article or study.

I'm using Pandoc 2.2.1.

Here's where the ISBN goes in the content.opf metadata: 


<metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf"> 
<dc:title>Alice in Wonderland</dc:title> 
<dc:language>en</dc:language> 
*<dc:identifier id="BookId" opf:scheme="ISBN">123456789X</dc:identifier>*
<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Lewis Carroll</dc:creator> 
</metadata>

I got this example from: http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section2.2

Ok I upgraded to Pandoc 2.7.2 (most recent version) and it looks like it's 
putting in the DOI, ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 numbers in. Here's the metadata 
from the content.opf file: 

  <metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" 
xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
    <dc:identifier id="epub-id-1">doi:10.234234.234/33</dc:identifier>
    <meta refines="#epub-id-1" property="identifier-type" 
scheme="onix:codelist5">06</meta>
    <dc:identifier id="epub-id-2">1234567988</dc:identifier>
    <meta refines="#epub-id-2" property="identifier-type" 
scheme="onix:codelist5">02</meta>
    <dc:identifier id="epub-id-3">978-1112223334</dc:identifier>
    <meta refines="#epub-id-3" property="identifier-type" 
scheme="onix:codelist5">15</meta>
    <dc:title id="epub-title-1">Title Superscript poss causing 
problems</dc:title>
    <dc:date id="epub-date">2019-05-20</dc:date>
    <dc:language>en-US</dc:language>
    <dc:creator id="epub-creator-1">John Author</dc:creator>
    <meta refines="#epub-creator-1" property="role" 
scheme="marc:relators">aut</meta>
    <meta property="dcterms:modified">2019-05-23T11:17:50Z</meta>
  </metadata>

I still have this question though. Does Pandoc do any validation of the 
format of the ISBN10 or ISBN13 number? I'm not asking Pandoc to look the 
ISBN up in a database, just to do a general check on the length of the ISBN 
and format.

No, we don't do any validation on this.
