Also, thank you for reminding me of asterisks. They are the perfect answer to not knowing if and where scene breaks will coincide with page breaks.

You can still include all the images + extra flourishes, just code it in a way to:
  • have fallbacks
  • not interfere with user preferences.

Ebooks should follow the spirit of the print version, not try to "replicate it exactly".

I recently discussed some of this this (and referenced to a lot of other fantastic threads) in "Colored Text, EPUB, Android Dark Mode" (Post #14).
