Epub publishing guidelines

Metadata — The metadata starts with these three required lines of code.

If a file is not identified, it will not be accessible. Example of different file statements:. Note that item ID " toc " refers to the physical contents page while item ID " ncx " refers to the file that controls eBook navigation.
