This repository contains the source files for the "Curls & Contemplation" EPUB.
To ensure a professional, consistent reading experience, every chapter (all 16) must use the exact chapter XHTML template structure described below.
This README explains the template, the required variables, and step-by-step instructions for team members working on chapter XHTML files.
Each chapter XHTML file must begin with the following HTML structure.
This template uses Mustache-style variables ({{VARIABLE}})—replace these with actual chapter content.
Never alter styles, JS, navigation, or layout except to insert content.
<!DOCTYPE html>
