Linked TOC -- code

GraciousMe · 11-19-2012, 01:27 AM

After some wavering I decided to have a separate TOC-chapter in my book. Also to have it linked. So I borrowed some code from another e-book.

Can anybody see if I did something wrong? (Sigil does not protest.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link href="../Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<title>My book</title>
</head>

<body xml:lang="SV" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">
<h1 id="heading_id_2">TOC</h1>

<div>
<p><a href="../Images/cover.jpg">Cover</a></p>

<p><a href="../Text/Title.htm">Title</a></p>

<p><a href="../Text/Chapter1.xhtml">Chapter one</a></p>

<p><a href="../Text/Chapter2.xhtml">Chapter two</a></p>

AND SO ON

</div>

</body>
</html>

The original was a bit different, I just removed what I didn´t understand. It began like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>A Briefer History of Time</title>
<meta name="Adept.resource" value="urn:uuid:381f5f04-b26a-460c-8278-f55cae532600" />
<link href="../Styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/

@page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; }
/*]]>*/
</style>
</head>

<body class="calibre">
<div class="calibre1" id="toc">
<p class="fmh">Table of Contents</p>

<p class="cfmh"><a href="../Text/Hawk_9780307417848_epub_tp_r1.htm">Title Page</a></p>

ETC.

is the filename 'Chapter1' or 'chapter1' ?
Case will bite you every time

BTW
If the NCX works, why not Let Sigil (6) generate the HTML TOC? Tool: Table of Contents : ...

Yes, I am careful with case in case something goes very wrong.

Sure, Sigil can generate TOC, but I want an actual chapter/ file of TOC inside the book as well.

Sigil can also create an HTML TOC file in your book as well, using the menu Tools -> Table of Contents -> Create HTML Table of Contents as theducks said. You have to re-run it each time you use Generate TOC or modify the toc.ncx file.

@GraciousMe - as theducks said - look at Tools->Table of Contents and you will see a "Create HTML Table of Contents" option that was added for 0.6.

Edit: meme beat me
