Linking Ebooks between them

Ebooks can be linked between them as if they were HTML pages.

Example 1.
<a href="book1.htz5">View book 1</a>
Will open the book1.htz5 file inside the running Ebook window.

If the Ebook is an executable file, the link would be:

<a href="book1.exe">View book 1</a>
This link can work both from .htz5 or executable Ebooks.

You can also open one .htz5 file from other one jumping to other page that the Home page.
To do that you can use the TARGET parameter to point to the target page.

Example:
<a href="book1.htz5" TARGET="third.htm">Open book 1 and jump to third.htm</a>
The book will be opened at "third.htm" without showing the home page.

Notice that TARGET points to an HTML page not to a frame, because you cannot open an Ebook inside a frame of other publication. If you set TARGET=_blank then the new publication will be opened into a new window.

But if you want to open an executable Ebook jumping to some page you must use this other way:

<a href="book1.exe third.htm">View book 1</a>

Another difference between opening .htz5 and executable Ebook is that when you open an .htz5 ebook, it always opens into the same window, so when you open a new ebook the previous one will close down automatically, unless you specify TARGET=_blank, but an executable Ebook always opens in another window. You cannot open .htz5 ebooks, from an executable Ebook.

Notes:

  1. If you use the Search function to locate some word, it will work only on the current .htz5 file, not on all the linked ebooks.
  2. Ebooks also can be opened automatically by using the META REFRESH tag. The following example will open another ebook after 10 seconds passed after opening the page where the META REFRESH tag was located (META tags go in the HEAD>.

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=second.htz5">

In this way an ebook can be use as a presentation for another one. As can be seen above, inside the META content attribute there is number, which indicates how many seconds to wait, followed by a semicolon and an URL property, pointing to the ebook that will be opened next. Since the ebooks are compiled as .htz5 files, when opening the second one, the first one will be closed.
