Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Non-interactive EPUB generation works despite the README warning. A language override containing XML-special characters can produce a malformed EPUB; correct the guidance and escape or validate the override before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Language and saved direction values can be written into EPUB markup without validation or escaping, allowing malformed or altered output. The identified exposure is limited to EPUBs produced from affected inputs; behavior in downstream readers has not been established. Retained concerns

get_user_inputandreview_markdowninmodules/mark2epub.py. Both now catchEOFError,io.UnsupportedOperation, andOSError, and they fall back to default values. As a result, non-interactive runs no longer fail withEOFError. The end-to-end tests intests/test_rtl.pyrely on this fallback. The README still says a terminal is required and thatEOFErroroccurs. Update the paragraph to match the new behavior.📝 Proposed fix

Escape lang in generated XML attributes.
--lang accepts any string, and normalization only strips and lowercases it. The value reaches the cover, TOC, NCX, and chapter generators, which interpolate it directly into XML attributes. For example, --lang 'en&test' writes an unescaped ampersand and can make those EPUB XML files malformed.
get_packageOPF_XML uses minidom attribute serialization, so the OPF path already escapes the value.
