Body: <p>I am working on building a semi-complex EPUB and I think it would be more beneficial / ultimately faster to write the EPUB by scratch in a text editor than to try and export with some automated program like Indesign or Vellum and massage the XHTML into a semblance of human form.  Does anyone know of a solid EPUB 3 template I can download where all the files have been set up and I simply need to write in the correct paths and declare the items?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
