Tours

Tours are supported in Microsoft Reader version 1.5, and support the Riffle function by chapters. This function works using the chapter tour, shown here and in Figure 6. The metadata section contains the required package file elements, where <x-metadata> section is added after the standard <dc:metadata> section and in the tours section of the file, found after the <guide> section. See the Metadata Reference to a Chapter Tour and the Chapter Tour Format examples. 

Note that the linkage between the tour function and chapters is not hard-coded. A publisher can use the chapter tour function to connect a series of illustrations, parts, poems, volumes, or other book sections rather than a series of chapters. The tour also need not be linear; it can jump forward and backward in a book. Each eBook is allowed one tour.
