A basic, slightly boring (visual stylistically) is really simple HTML/CSS.
CSS is just a way to centralize (in the book), styling rules, rather than use a style= every place.
Change the CSS entry for a class= usage and all uses follow.
SVG allows tighter image manipulation. It is not required (if you don't mind aspect distorted images on some devices) Sigil has a SVG plugin available, to do the heavy lifting
IMHO the harder part of EPUB creation is avoiding device (specific) limitations.
eg. my early device did not center a nn% HR. Want it centered... force that with the left margin ((100-HRwidth)/2)%
I made a 'sampler' of code ideas for a more fancy rendering of chapter titles. That was a great way to learn and use the Box Model'
