content.opf is the file that contains the ebook metadata like author, title, description, and reading order. Most of it will be filling in that basic information, and including links to various resources related to the text. We already completed the manifest and spine in an earlier step.
content.opf is standardized. See the Metadata section of the SEMoS for details on how to fill it out.
The last details to fill out here will be the short and long descriptions, verifying any Wikipedia links that se create-draft automatically found, adding cover artist metadata, filling out any missing author or contributor metadata, and adding your own metadata as the ebook producer.
The last details to fill out here will be the short and long descriptions, verifying any Wikipedia links that se create-draft automatically found, adding cover artist metadata, filling out any missing author or contributor metadata, and adding your own metadata as the ebook producer. If you wrote the long description in unescaped HTML, run se clean to convert the long description to escaped HTML.
