ePUB in brief
The document discusses the ePUB format which uses XHTML for content, CSS for layout and formatting, and XML for the manifest, table of contents, and metadata. It specifies that ePUB uses Open Publication Structure (OPS) for formatting content, Open Packaging Format (OPF) for the XML .epub format, and Open Container Format (OCF) to wrap files in a ZIP archive.
