Filenaming Standards for eBook Content Files

All filenames must consist of one option from each of the six elements as described on this page. By your compliance, you will be using our character set standard of: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, periods, hyphens and underscores ONLY. No other
characters will be permitted, including ! # $ % & ' " ( ) * + , / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] or any high-ASCII characters.

Under no circumstances are you to invent new designations for your content or use new designations without approval. If you feel a new designation is required or is missing from the Standard, please contact Rebecca Wintle
(rwintle@randomhouse.com, 212-572-8778), who will coordinate any proposed new designations with the Naming Convention Sub-Committee.
