Making a picture the beginning of a new page

rosshalde · 10-27-2014, 09:34 AM

Hi

I am using apple's Pages as my word processor. I am using their export to epub as my starting point and then messing with it in both sigil and calibre to make things work. Any idea in calibre how to make a picture the beginning of a new chapter? currently, I can't figure this out in pages so I am putting a white dot and styling that as the chapter head and then putting the picture right under it. It does the job, but I would rather figure out in Pages or in calibre how to actually "style" the picture as the beginning of the chapter. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Either physically split the html file so the picture is at the very beginning of the new chapter file or apply the css attribute/value "page-break-before: always" to the html element preceding (or containing) the image.

The usual chapter head is just an <h2>Chapter X</h2> tag.

Put the image in instead of the words "Chapter X". You should use alt text to define what gets put in the ToC.

Some people use

"Chapter X
<br/>
<img...../>"

instead, to fit both a picture and some text, you could do something similar.
