How do you handle multiple stories in a single book?

Sabardeyn · 06-22-2009, 08:02 PM

Hello Everyone,

As I'm gearing up to convert my library to calibre, I ran across this issue that has caused me to stop and re-consider things. It occurred to me others must have encountered this issue and found a good way to handle things. I saw no reason to re-invent the wheel so I thought I would ask.

How do you handle data entry for multiple stories or articles (in any media - short stories, manga, magazines, etc), gathered into one physical book, within Calibre?

I would also appreciate if you would explain the method you are using for data entry if you're doing something you feel might be of interest to others. Perhaps something you're doing is a much better option that what I've considered.

Thanks in advance for your participation!

I use <h2> tags and make a Table of Contents entry for each book.
