Epub Types
All content sections should have an epub:type reference EPUB 3 Structural Semantics Vocabulary.
All XHTML files should have a matter type, example:
Front Matter
Example if a front matter file for a preface named PJ01_frontmatter07.xhtml. File named PJ01_frontmatter07_preface.xhtml is also acceptable. Notice the added pagebreak, example:
html1<body epub:type="frontmatter">2<section epub:type="preface">3<a epub:type="pagebreak" id="pagexiii" title="xiii"></a>4<!-- Rest of Code -->5</section>6</body>
If a type cannot be found for the front matter the type can be applied to te section. A good use case for this is an endorsement, example:
html1<body>2<section epub:type="frontmatter">3<a epub:type="pagebreak" id="pagexi" title="xi"></a>4<!-- Rest of Code -->5</section>6</body>
Body Matter
Example for a chapter file named PJ02_chapter05.xhtml that would be for chapter 5. First page where the chapter starts uses the pagebreak and after the chapter ends there is a white page in the PDF, page286 example:
html1<body epub:type="bodymatter">2<section epub:type="chapter">3<a epub:type="pagebreak" id="page249" title="249"></a>4<!-- Content -->5<a epub:type="pagebreak" id="page286" title="286"></a>6</section>7</body>
Back Matter
Example for an index named PJ03_backmatter05.xhtml but PJ03_backmatter05_index.xhtml is acceptable:
html1<body epub:type="backmatter">2<section epub:type="index">3<a epub:type="pagebreak" id="page641" title="641"></a>4<!-- Content -->5</section>6</body>
