Full page image best practices & TOC
I seem to be making progress with the help of Sigil creating of my first epub, but am at the point where I better ask a few questions before I head off in the wrong direction and have to redo stuff.
For images - I have a series of them that should appear by themselves on a page - they precede the chapters. I have created them at 760x600 and have put them in a svg container, each in its own xhtml document. The image documents don't show up in the list of documents to select or un-select to appear in the TOC. I could include them in the chapter documents - but what is required to make a document TOC eligible? Also, even the documents I deselected appear in the iBook on the iPad ( ios 4.3). Is that normal? Are there things I should be keeping in mind now in order to save my self heaps of anguish when I convert this to modi format (other than I should have gone the other way)? |

If the images are in separate files, but contain no header tags, it will not display in the TOC. The TOC is built from the header tags.
Since iBooks ignores a lot of perfectly good coding, I am not suprised it would also ignore your wish to not to display. If iPad is your end-goal, search for better epub readers. If it is not, ignore it and test with ADE for example. |
