Thanks for explaining so far!
I can't help but think that epub code is far from optimized, much like how MS office creates HTML pages, with lots of things that aren't really necessary.
Suppose I just want to display my book, do titles in bold and larger letter type than the regular text; but I don't really care about what lettertype or fontsize it will be,
can I get rid of CSS, and just simply compress HTML files in an epub?
I mean, I've read many manuals concerning creating an epub, but I've never seen one that keeps itself to the basics of basics.
Suppose I don't want an ID reference number, and I don't want external sites within my ebook,
What would be an utmost minimalistic epub (eg: one with no extra lines of code, one that just displays a cover photo, a toc, and one or two chapters)?
Most of the manuals online add too much data in their epub. Data that I find is not really necessary. Like for those people that load their books from a file browser structure, adding a title within an epub book more than once is not really necessary.
In fact, I see no reason to write a book title within an epub, if it's already mentioned in the filename.
From point of writing a very minimalistic epub, I find that the epub format has way too much garbage in it, that is unneccessary for any user to read.
It may be good for having databases, and organizing stuff automatically, or converting books, but to read, all you need is a basic HTML0 book, I'd presume?
