How to create a navigation file like navigation.xhtml for an EPUB 3.0 book?
✍: FYIcenter.com
At least one navigation file, like navigation.xhtml, is required for
an EPUB 3.0 book in the book ZIP container.
It provides navigation information like a table of contents of the book.
Here is the requirement on a navigation file:
1. A navigation file must be named with .xhtml file extension.
2. A navigation file must be an XML file and meet the XHTML specifications.
3. A navigation file must specify at least 1 "nav" XHTML element like <nav epub:type="toc">, which must have an "ol" sub-element to provide a list of navigation links.
4. A navigation file can be placed in any directory of the EPUB 3.0 book ZIP container. But its exact location must be specified correctly in the package file.
You can create a navigation file with any text editor. Here is an example called navigation.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- navigation.xhtml

-->
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
<head>
<title>TOC</title>
</head>
<body>
<nav epub:type="toc">
<ol>
<li>
<a href="/content.xhtml">Hello</a>
</li>
</ol>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
