The EPUB Document Type

Three distinct frameworks are supported for the EPUB document type:

NCX - A declarative global navigation definition.
OCF - The Open Container Format (OCF) defines a mechanism by which all components of an Open Publication Structure (OPS) can be combined into a single file system entity.
OPF - The Open Packaging Format (OPF) defines the mechanism by which all components of a published work that conforms to the Open Publication Structure (OPS) standard (including metadata, reading order, and navigational information) are packaged in an OPS Publication.
Note: Oxygen XML Editor supports both OPF 2.0 and OPF 3.0.

Document Templates

The default templates for the NCX and OCF document types are located in the [OXYGEN_DIR]/frameworks/docbook/templates folder.

The default template for the OPF 2.0 document type is located in the [OXYGEN_DIR]/frameworks/docbook/templates/2.0 folder.

The default template for the OPF 3.0 document type is located in the [OXYGEN_DIR]/frameworks/docbook/templates/3.0 folder.

The following EPUB templates are available when creating new documents from templates:
