As for why .Net 2.0, for me (and probably for BBeBinder too) its because of the support for generics, which isn't in 1.x. |

Multi-page documents?
Hi,
Firstly, great work with the BBeBinder app. The small margins are absolutely perfect for me. One question: is it supposed to support multipage documents? I have a number of eBooks as multiple HTML files. When you try to convert them with BBeBinder 0.2 you get one very short page covering one HTML file :-( If it's not yet supposed to do this... a) When should it? 0.3, 0.4 etc and b) How can I help? |

It only supports 1 html file at the moment, I'm looking at doing multiple html files.
Also, I've just added RTF import (doesn't handle images at the moment and not sure it will for a while) which is only available in source but I'll make a binary available soon. |

Hmm, I seem to be getting a lot of formatting stripped out. Such as carriage returns and tabs. Any Clues for how to preserve the formatting thats in the html file?

This is an excellent tool.. I just tried it with the Wikipedia page on New Zealand , it presents the content really well. Very nice.
One thing I did notice though, the "ā" characters (as in Māori) were stripped out. Would it be possible to have a find/replace when in Design mode? All the headings came across with the word [Edit] in front, and being able to, ahem, edit such text out would be handy. Cheers! Don |

Are you asking about these characters in formatted sections? i.e. <pre></pre>. If so we also don't support these sections yet, but it is on the roadmap. If you want me to look at a specific document then you can either post it or send it to me via a private message and I can give you a better answer. |

Of the multi-page HTML formats I've seen, these are two cases I think would need to be handled: - Main book page with a TOC on it. Load the HTML TOC page, specify it's the table of contents. Use that to create the LRF TOC, then also use it to bring the linked documents into the main body of the book in the order listed - Some documents have you just load the first part, then they link you to the next part at the end of each one. Probably not a good idea to try to bring them in automatically in this case, as it could create circular references if they have link-backs... Better there i guess to select multiple HTML pages and let the user put them in order, like HTMLDOC... which lets you do just that, with HTML output. Nice to avoid multiple tools, though, and their HTML output is ugly (not to view, but to try to edit). For handling hotlinks, it would be cool if you could keep them active in the LRF format - I'm not familiar enough with the specs to know if you can do that outside the TOC. External (ie, not relative path links) would need to be unhotlinked (new word!) or annotated. Overall, wonderful tool that's getting more useful all the time. Much appreciated. |

Two more little suggestions...
1) Make the title page and TOC optional. Right now, before generating LRF from HTML with the tool, I make a copy of the HTML file and remove the title page and TOC from it if they are already there, then run the tool on it using the edited copy. The output is also inconsistent with purchased books, which have their book cover on the first page, followed by title, TOC, etc. If my HTML file has a jacket cover at the beginning, it's currently displayed after the auto-generated TOC and title pages. 2) Complementing 1)... if the HTML has local links (ie, same or no document name and linked to an anchor using #), make them active. Lots of HTML docs have a TOC and/or index built into them already using exactly that method. Currently, BB builds it's own TOC, which it puts before the one already in the HTML file... from which links have been removed. Looks odd to see two TOC in a row, esp if the pre-existing TOC was single-spaced and is now all mushed into one paragraph. Just my thoughts - also willing to lend some coding if you need a hand, though too many cooks could make things a little crazy as well. (also, I already tried loading your project... I'm a version of VS behind you and it won't let me load your new-and-I'm-sure-improved solution file) |

I downloaded and installed BBeB Binder and I consistently get the "This program has encountered an error and must be shut down" message. I even rebooted the computer after getting this message a couple of times and it still gives me the error.
I have WinXPPro, sp2, have auto-update turned on so it should be up-to-date. Any ideas what's wrong? I have tried to run it while having some other windows open and also with no other windows open. |

Hanging my head in shame, I have to say I didn't, because the error message wasn't the same. Having now done that, it appears to be working, but the HTML file I tried it out on seems to be taking a very long time to create.
I thank you for your very patient and gentle reminder which appears to have solved my problem. Thanks! |
