This is the format in file. I am not sure how to create, or force create a TOC with images as headings. I'm using Textmate as editor.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've tried unsuccessfully using XPath - book starts with Chapter 7, and then list TOC as all unnamed.

Thanks

You want to convert and modify<p class="chapter"

to a <p class="chapter" title="\2"


I suggest the book-editor
Not tested
(REGEX)Search:

 <p class="chapter" align="right">\s+(<img src="/Users/Desktop/book/.+.jpg"  alt=)"(.+?)" (.+?)/>)</p>

Replace:

<p class="chapter" align="right" title="\2">\1"\2" \3</p>

The therory: Capture the Alt value, use that to construct and insert the title=" "

Second phase is to replace the P tag pair with a H# pair

Note I would also move the align right to .chapter in the CSS

BIG NOTE: src="/Users/Desktop

That path will break your book as soon as you move the book
