EPUB supports a range of multimedia elements, including images, audio, and video. This allows for a high level of accessibility, as the content can be easily translated and adapted for different languages, fonts, and devices. One of the key features of EPUB is its use of XML (Extensible Markup Language) to encode the content, which allows for easy manipulation and customization of the publication.

The HTML content provides the structure and text of the publication, while the CSS is used to control the presentation and formatting of the content. EPUB files are typically composed of three main components: HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) content, a styling language called CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and a standardized package format called OPF (Open Package Format).

EPUB, or Electronic Publication, is an open-source file format used for digital books and publications.
