A poetry chapbook

As you've already seen, there are a number of ways that artifacts can be stored and shared in Mahara. In this recipe, we will create a poetry chapbook (which is simply a small book) using the poetry pages you may have created using the previous recipe.

Note

Though the term chapbook usually refers to a pocket-sized book, we're kind of going to stretch the meaning a bit here when we refer to this digital book with a style similar to a paperback poetry book you might find in a local bookstore.

Getting ready

Then, we will create a cover page and table of contents. We'll use the built-in navigation for Collections, but the There's more... section will provide you with the option of creating links at the bottom of each page to take readers through the book page-by-page.

Let's begin and create our collection...
