5.6.1 Requirement #1: Pairing Pages When Orientation-Lock Equals None
If orientation is not locked, content should be designed for both portrait and landscape mode. Also, every
page is expected to have a defined definitive pair to support landscape orientation. In portrait orientation,
the pairs are ignored.
All single pages should be tagged with the properties facing-page-left or facing-page-right. In
this case, the renderer will add the spine while stitching two pages together.
Example:
The following example shows a double-page spread with visual separator in landscape mode.
<spine>
<itemref idref="page1" properties="facing-page-left"/>
<itemref idref="page2" properties="facing-page-right"/>
</spine>
