Start at the title page or use Contents to explore all 25 reading sections. Follow Previous and Next links through the book, or return to Contents from any section.
Template overview
This web section mirrors the teaching purpose of the EPUB while keeping the website and the EPUB package separate. The website explains and distributes the template; the EPUB remains a self-contained publication file.

Book Art Clip Art
A collection of ten high-contrast black-and-white symbols for book interiors, chapter openers, section dividers, covers, worksheets, and other publication layouts. Select an image to open the original JPEG, or download the complete collection as a ZIP.
Use note: these files are preserved as the uploaded JPEG originals. For professional print production, a future vector/SVG edition would provide cleaner scaling at very large sizes.
EPUB package structure
Package document
OEBPS/CONTENT.OPF contains the title, creator, identifier, language, manifest, and reading order.
Navigation
NAV.xhtml supplies the EPUB 3 table of contents using semantic navigation markup.
Content documents
The chapter files are XHTML documents linked through the package manifest and spine.
Shared styles
SGC-MAIN.css provides typography, links, table treatment, and reflow-friendly defaults.
Cleanup applied: invalid navigation markup was corrected; placeholder publication metadata was replaced; obsolete table presentation attributes were removed; language metadata was normalized; and unrelated macOS, Git, PDF, and scraped HTML material was excluded from the distributable EPUB.
Responsive table example
Tables should remain readable in narrow EPUB reader windows. The template uses fixed table layout with wrapping cells rather than hard-coded column widths.
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Reflowable text | Content adapts to reader font size and viewport dimensions. |
| Semantic navigation | The EPUB navigation document gives reading systems a structured table of contents. |
| Internal links | Relative links connect chapters and references without depending on a website. |
Internal links and bibliography
The template demonstrates forward and backward relative links between chapter files and the reference section. This makes the publication portable when it is moved between EPUB readers.
Relative links
Use links such as CHAP-02.xhtml or REFS.xhtml for resources inside the EPUB container.
External links
Use complete HTTPS addresses only for resources that intentionally leave the publication.
References and production notes
For standards work, validation, and reader testing, consult authoritative EPUB/W3C documentation and a current EPUB validator. The downloadable source is designed to remain editable in Visual Studio Code, Sigil, or another standards-aware editor.
