Styles can be used to indicate how you want your book to be organized when exported to
ePub format. To see how, make sure the Format inspector is open, then click the Table of
Contents on the previous page. This opens the Table of Contents pane of the Format
inspector, which displays a list of paragraph styles. The paragraph styles you select
determine how your ePub file is organized and what content appears in its Table of
Contents. For example: Select the Chapter Name style to begin a new chapter each time
that style appears and include chapter names in the ePub file’s Table of Contents.
Keep in mind that text colors may look different in ePub format, and that on export,
document text sizes are translated into three sizes — small, medium, and large.
Getting Started
Simply delete these instructions and add your own content. Replace the existing styled
paragraphs by typing or pasting in your own text. Choose styles from the Text pane of the
Format inspector as needed, or modify them to create your own.
Chapter Number
Chapter Name
Chapter Subtitle
Use the Chapter Number style to add a distinct chapter number at the beginning of a
chapter. Chapter numbers aren’t displayed in the Table of Contents.
Use the Chapter Name style to clearly label each chapter or section in your book. Chapter
names are displayed in the Table of Contents.
The Chapter Subtitle style is useful for adding more descriptive information underneath
the chapter name.
Heading
Use the Heading style to break each chapter up into unique subsections. In the Table of
Contents, headings are indented underneath chapter names with a distinctive look. They
make it easy for readers to find and jump to specific content.
Use the Block Quote style for longer quotes. The Block Quote style
will indent your text on both sides of the quote. When you’re finished
typing the quote, press Return on your keyboard, then choose a
different style from the Text pane of the Format inspector.
Subheading
Use the Subheading style to break a Heading style topic into smaller parts.
Paragraphs that use the Subheading style aren’t displayed in the Table of Contents.
Tables
Tables look best when you create them in Pages, rather than add them as images. Your
readers will be able to enlarge the content and get definitions even in table cells.
Use the Caption style to describe images, charts, tables, and other visuals in your document.
