Newbie Question: Separate XHTML files become separate ePub files
Hi-o ... New user trying to convert my (unpublished) book into ePub, but I'm having a problem, and I've been searching the forums but can't find another post addressing this.
I've created every chapter as a separate XHTML file, and I'm trying to turn these into one ePub file. But no matter how I put these files in Calibre, they come in as separate XHTML files and the generated output is separate ePub files. How do I make Calibre understand that I want all these files to flow as one ePub file? Thanks for reading my (undoubtedly dumb) question. |

If you do it in Calibre you need one master xhtml file which only has a TOC with hyperlinks to all the chapter xhtml files. You then add this one master file and Calibre will bundle all the files into a single zip which can be converted to ePub.
If you're the author/publisher you may just want to use Sigil to combine all these xhtml files into a single ePub instead. Using Sigil won't flatten/rewrite your existing css styles. |

Thanks for the help! Apparently I wasn't using the right combination of words in my search query looking for the solution. The FAQ was great. Created my TOC and it all worked perfectly. Thanks!
