TOC conversion with images as Chapter Heading
I want to create a TOC in Mobi and ePub when converting through Calibre. My chapter headings in file are images, no actual text headers.
<p class="chapter" align="right"> <img src="/Users/Desktop/book/Chapter 2.jpg" alt="Chapter 2" width="236" height="148"/></p> This is the format in file. I am not sure how to create, or force create a TOC with images as headings. I'm using Textmate as editor. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've tried unsuccessfully using XPath - book starts with Chapter 7, and then list TOC as all unnamed. Thanks |

Try <p title="Chapter 2" class="... etc> in your source html before calibre conversion.

You want to convert and modify<p class="chapter" to a <p class="chapter" title="\2" I suggest the book-editor Not tested (REGEX)Search: Code:
<p class="chapter" align="right">\s+(<img src="/Users/Desktop/book/.+.jpg" alt=)"(.+?)" (.+?)/>)</p> Code:
<p class="chapter" align="right" title="\2">\1"\2" \3</p> Second phase is to replace the P tag pair with a H# pair Note I would also move the align right to .chapter in the CSS BIG NOTE: src="/Users/Desktop That path will break your book as soon as you move the book |

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I actually inserted
<p class="chapter hidden">Chapter 1</p> before each image, with the settings : p.hidden { display: none; visibility: hidden; } Then I entered the path for Chapter creation in Calibre, and it worked. I emailed G. Henkel (big help), and he provided me with this solution. As far as the location of the picture file, BIG NOTE: src="/Users/Desktop That path will break your book as soon as you move the book: I am a newbie to this html / css coding, and am learning on the fly. I don't know all the tips, tricks, and "the right way to do things", but I sure appreciate you more experienced / knowledgeable people helping me and others out. I'm not sure what you mean by break the book, I assume you mean it won't work unless it is in that folder location (correct)? I thought after converting the book to a mobi / ePub I wouldn't need that original folder / file anymore.?? You want to convert and modify<p class="chapter" to a <p class="chapter" title="\2" I have been scouring the internet for tips and tricks, and solutions to all the issues I have come up with in the past few days. I'm not sure what the title="/2" does? I'm just trying to figure out what all the different classes, div, etc. mean and how they work. Do you have a trusted website or book that you would recommend I read. Thanks again. |

\2 is (whatever was in) the second capture group replacement
Read the REGEX sicky at the top of THIS forum group Search (This)\s+(is)\s+(fine) Replace: \3 \2 \1 =fine is This |

Also have a look at http://www.w3schools.com/ a lot of the 'stuff' that's used on websites is not applicable to ebooks - so you don't need to know all that's at W3C. BR |
