Levels with headings

mcdummy · 08-24-2016, 06:04 AM

Hi,

This might be intended, but recently, I've downloaded an epub from Gutenberg.org with the following sequence of headings:

<h2>Text 1</h2>

<h1>Text 2</h1>

<h3>Text 3</h3>
<h3>Text 4</h3>
...
<h3>Text N</h3>

When I create a create a table of contents from all headings, the <h3>-heading of "Text 3" and the <h3>-headings of "Text 4" to "Text N" are placed on different levels (<h3>-headings of "Text 4" to "Text N" are placed as sub-headings of "Text 3"), instead of placing them on the same level as "Text 3".

Regards,

McDummy

Works as designed for Auto Generated TOC from Headers (Same thing goes for Sigil )
You might try some of the Options available in the TOC Tool (the toy block with a T)

Also available from the Main GUI

Just though it is strange that consecutive h3-headings are not placed on the same level. If you remove the initial h2-heading, then all h3-headings are placed on the same level.

IIRC same level headings should not become nested -- I'll look at it in detail when I have some time.

You forgot that there is a setting to force nesting when sequential tags (was to prevent splitting)
Preferences: Common options: Heuristic Processing

This may be a side effect

That only applies to conversions, I am assuming the OP is talking about the ToC tool in the editor.

I have used both the Generate from Major Headings and the Generate from All Headings button without issue.

The one issue I have tripped (and can't describe the actual steps to duplicate):

I have flipped the order of a selected group trying to use the D&D nest

P1
c1
c2
c3

ended up with (and not nested), which is a pain to undo (no sort selected)
P1
c3
c2
c1
