How FB2 turns into EPUB: document object-model rebuilding
A fictionbook xml ebook focused on semantic sections, text, notes, and embedded images is interpreted first, then its pages or chapters rebuilt using whatever structures EPUB makes available. Layout and semantics both require mapping - This is not a renamed package. FB2 parsing follows semantic XML sections, notes, binary image references, and book metadata rather than recreating the styling model of a web page. EPUB output packages HTML chapters, CSS, navigation, metadata, and reading order for reflow or declared fixed layout instead of preserving source pages by default.
Read as a FictionBook XML ebook focused on semantic sections, text, notes, and embedded images. Rebuilt as a ZIP-based ebook with HTML chapters, CSS, metadata, and navigation.

Acceptance evidence for the converted EPUB
Record the FB2 evidence before conversion
Validate chapter order, footnotes, cover art, and author metadata in an FB2 reader.
Test the EPUB file in its receiving workflow
Change font size in a real reader and follow every table-of-contents link to its chapter.
What the FB2 source carries and the EPUB output demands
What can fail when FB2 ebook format is interpreted
Reader-specific styling and advanced EPUB layout do not map directly into the FB2 vocabulary.
What Electronic Publication cannot safely promise
Reflow can expose poor heading order, forced line breaks, missing fonts, or a broken table of contents.
How the EPUB writer handles this route
The writer builds a ZIP-based ebook with HTML chapters, CSS, metadata, and navigation and labels the result as application/epub+zip. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
The delivery decision for this FB2 to EPUB route
Choose EPUB when its editing, reflow, or reader support is more valuable than exact FB2 structure, and test the most complex page or chapter before committing.
What changes between the FB2 model and the EPUB deliverable
- EPUB can hold multiple pages, but a single FB2 source only fills one; the rest of that structure stays empty rather than being generated.
- Metadata handling differs between FB2 and EPUB; do not assume every application-specific field carries across untouched.
