Footnote/Endnote Links Not Working

William5 · 08-30-2012, 11:54 AM

I use Calibre to convert my books (which I write in HTML) to .epub and .mobi, and although the TOC works beautifully and all of my code comes through exactly, my internal links don't work. The HTML before the conversion works fine. Here is a sample of my code:

Link from text to footnote: <A class=fn href="abc.html#fnone01" id=one01><SUP class="sup">1</SUP></A>
Link from footnote to text: <A class=fn-end href="abc.html#one01" id=fnone01>1</A>

Edit: Problem solved. I had created a copy of the original file, so the links were trying to access another document instead of a different section of the same file. Apologies for the stupid question. Also, thank you for creating this amazing software.

Not a stupid question. Exactly the sort of thing that everyone does one time or another. Your question and self answer might save someone else some time on a similar problem.
