Under “CSS Template” you can choose how you would like your e-book to be formatted.

Papyrus Author has many varieties of beautiful CSS templates for you to use. There are templates available to format HTML, known as “Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).” These are also used for styling e-books. An e-book, just like an internet page, consists of HTML pages. There is one important formatting option, though, that you do have. The only useful formatting differentiation is to set apart your text in headings and running text by using style templates. E-books do have a table of contents, but without any page numbers. “The end of the page” is a rather arbitrary term when it comes to e-books. What’s more, e-books don’t have a paper format and, thus, don’t have pages.

The reader can also adjust the font size. The e-reader even determines what font your book will be shown in. The disadvantage, though, is that you have very few layout and formatting options.
