Editing the Delphi Classics (ePUB)

anamardoll · 04-06-2012, 02:08 PM

For those of you buying Delphi Classics, has anyone else noticed that if you make changes to the ePUB versions in Sigil and save, the new file no longer has a table of contents?

This is sad for me, because I'd very much like to strip down some of the Delphi files -- I really don't care about the 4+ movie posters for Dracula, and the images add a lot of file bulk. But I can't go back in and add the nested TOC manually -- the files are 200-500 html pages in each ePUB.

Does anyone have a work-around for this? Much thanks!

Hi Ana,

Does that mean that the headings are not easily recognisable by the TOC creator - eg tags <h1></h1> etc...?

If you had true public domain rather than Delphi, I'd ask you to send it over so I could look at it and understand what options there might be. I'm not too bad at scripting things up when I need them but I'm guessing it would be frowned upon to offer such a service for a purchased electronic book.
