Dave Berk · 03-28-2007, 02:34 PM

I have converted some of my lit files into html for the BookDesigner, using convertlit. What clit seems do is to convert one lit file into many htm file linked together. One for the TOC, one for the first page, etc.

But when I open the TOC file, for example, in BD, and click on a link, BD can't open the page it links to, telling me it's an empty link. In explorer the links works fine. BD also doesn't read all the html styles right, leading to some very odd formatting choices.

What I thought to do is to convert it all into one big html file and to load that file inside BD, even if it means I will have to give up linked TOC. Is there a tool which can convert many linked html files (toc, chapters, etc) into on big htm file?

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in a search, and didn't fancy reading the whole BD update thread again

.

Another small question. To all of you who have embedded fonts inside an lrs file. Does that lead to slower page turning?
