openZim uses HTML internally - and I would suppose that it uses
MediaWiki to
generate that HTML. So the openZim export should give you pretty much
the same
HTML you'd see on the web site.
Any problems with it would likely be problems with the reader. I
don't know what
Kiwix uses to render HTML, but it seems likely that it doesn't suppot
JS.
Kiwix is based on xulrunner (Gecko) and consequently has the same JS
and HTML render engines as Firefox.
If you have a wrong behaviour related to JS, maybe something went wrong
during the ZIM creation process.
In any case please open bug reports, that we may be able to investigate
issues, at
http://reportabug.kiwix.org
And it
probably shouldn't, since things relyong on URL parameters, skin
internals, etc,
would break anyway.
This is one of the challenges during the ZIM creation process:
rewrite urls, download extern dependences, etc.
To me, applying important font changes with JS is
simply the Wrong
Thing to do.
All content should be readable without using JS.
OK, this is a point of view which will certainly make debate ;)
