When it comes to Ebook authoring, a well-structured Ebook ensures that your readers can easily navigate and digest the information you're presenting. In this article, we invite you to delve into the art of building compelling ebook content while harnessing the full potential of the authoring tools at your disposal.
Design Settings
You created your Ebook Learning Activity. To embark on your design adventure, navigate to the Authoring toolbar and click on the Design option. Within the Design section, you can find the: Theme Explorer, Typography, and Layout options.
To begin, select the setting that aligns with your design goals. By doing so, you will open the appearance pop-up, where you can start designing the look of your ebook activity.
Theme Explorer
In the Theme Explorer, you have the power to customize key elements of your Ebook activity. You can effortlessly select the background color for the entire activity, define the width of content within sections, and even adjust the spacing between elements.
Typography
In Typography, you have control over essential elements such as line height and font sizes for headings (H1, H2, H3, H4), main text, and more. Notably, the font sizes are conveniently inherited from the Typography settings of the Sites Builder, ensuring consistency and coherence across your ebook learning activities.
Layout
In the Layout, you can add color, images, or SVG files as background for the sections you can define the height between sections, allowing for seamless transitions and a well-structured layout.
- The colors in the Theme Explorer tab, as well as in the Typography (headings, main text, etc.), are inherited from Site Builder's Theme Explorer settings.- Once you have completed the customization, you can either click on Save (the tab will remain open) or Save&close (the tab will close after saving).
- You can always choose between saving as custom or global styles. Custom styles concern only one Ebook, while global styles will affect all existing and future Ebooks.
