XPath query
I was hoping the group might be able to help me with some trouble I have been having at the very end of my first eBook conversion.
I have a file in Word which has Heading 1, 2 and 3s in it, where Heading 3 is the chapter headings, and I would like a TOC built from them. The Word file looks perfect, I am using the latest Mac Office suite. I save as rtf, load the rtf file into TextEdit and save as HTML. Everything renders nicely in Safari, so I view the Heading 2 and Heading 3 lines in Text Wrangler to see they are wrapped with: Code:
<p class="p4"> Code:
<p class="p5"> I don't do HTML natively, but there are some CSS looking lines at the top, which define something akin to these classes, so I go with it. The XPath help file has great examples if you are in the <h1> type world, but I try and adapt, and feed the following line in to the right box in the chapter detection dialogue... Code:
//*[name()='<p class="p4">' or name()='<p class="p5">'] How stupid am I being, and does anyone have any suggestions as to where I go? To say I am new to this would be an understatement! Thanks! amjb |
