Creating box sets in jutoh youtube7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() The text of the chapter title looks the same, but the look hides a subtle and crazy-making difference: the Style of this chapter title is Text Body: the same Style used by normal text in the manuscript. Now look at this figure (the Do NOT figure). Do NOT use ad-hoc font or size adjustments I changed the text from a normal paragraph to a chapter title by changing the Style selection from Text Body to Header 1. Notice also that the Font happens to be Arial and the font size happens to be 16.1. Notice that the figure above (the Do figure) shows a chapter title that uses the Style named “Heading 2”. The figures below illustrates these two approaches in LibreOffice: Do use the Header Style For example, in creating a chapter title, do use the Chapter Title Style (likely named Header 1 or such) do NOT manually adjust the font and font-size to make your chapter titles stand out.

A separate set of information (the Style Sheet) tells the web browser or an eBook reading device how to display that text, such as “Display Header 1 text in boldface 16-point Arial font”. The idea behind this rule is that each block of text should include the name of its particular function, or Style, such as “Header 1”, “Quote”, or “Caption” – without saying anything about how to display text in that Style. Regardless of which word processor or formatting application you use to create eBooks, you can make your eBook formatting process a lot easier by following the basic HTML/CSS rule of separating content (the text and its structure) from presentation (the look of that text on the eBook reader’s screen). Many eBook formats are based on HTML and CSS: the Standards that make web pages automatically adapt to so many different devices.
