EPUB and HTML explained
EPUB is essentially a website in a box — a ZIP of XHTML and CSS. Because the content is reflowable, the reader chooses the font size and the text re-wraps, rather than being locked to a page.
HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.
- Where EPUB files come from
- E-book stores, library lending and self-publishing.
- Where HTML is used
