I believe everything is as it should be. What am I missing or what do I look for?
My start page is the first entry in the content.xhtml file. Prior xhtml files are the toc, reviews, title, and copyright xhtml files.
OPF/Guide:
<reference href="Text/content.xhtml" title="start" type="text" />
XHTML:
<body>
<h3 id="start"><a id="prologue"></a><span class="bold"><small>PROLOGUE</small></span></h3>
CSS:
h3 {
page-break-before: always;
}
Semantics OK at "text"
I am puzzled. I have extracted other books and the opf and xhtml coding are apparently set up the same way. The only difference I have found in one is the guide's title was "startup page".

Has your ebook several .xhtml files or just one? If it has several, then, does this code...
Code:
<body>
<h3 id="start"><a id="prologue"></a><span class="bold"><small>PROLOGUE</small></span></h3>
...belong to content.xhtml file? Because according to your entry in the <guide> section "<reference href="Text/content.xhtml" title="start" type="text" />" your book will start at the BEGINNING of content.xhtml file AND NOT at id="start" (or id="prologue"). If you want that the book starts at id="start" then your entry in the guide section should be:
Code:
<reference href="Text/content.xhtml#start" title="beginning" type="text" />
(in "title" you can write anything; I wrote "beginning" but "start" also will work).
