Understanding Content Structures in your book.

When generating your conference book in Ex Ordo, you’ll choose from a set of content structures that define how accepted submissions will be arranged.

Selecting the right content structure helps ensure your book is easy to navigate, consistent with your programme design, and aligned with your delegates' expectations.

This guide explains each available content structure in detail, including how submissions are grouped and ordered.

Available Content Structures

No Chapters

Overview
The No Chapters content structure compiles all accepted submissions into a single continuous list. There are no chapters, title pages, or section dividers. This format is ideal for smaller programmes or publications where a simple, uninterrupted flow is preferred.

You can choose to order your submissions alphabetically or chronologically.

  • Conferences that want the simplest, cleanest structure
