Sigil + Adobe Digital Editions + chapters
L.S.

Using Sigil I try to create an e-book with many chapters: a digital edition of a romance that was printed in Antwerp in 1564.

When I have finished a chapter I watch the result in Adobe Digital Editions.

I am satisfied with how the text looks in the right window, but how do I create an index on chapters in the left window/

Yours,

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

Just enclose each chapter title in heading tags (h1, h2, h3 ... h6) or select the chapter title in Sigil and click one of the h buttons, e.g. h3.
You can then automatically generate a TOC by clicking the Generate TOC button.

Please be sure to press control-enter at the end of each chapter. This will create a separate file for each chapter and make it possible to read in a PRS-300 like mine and make it work faster in other readers.

Thank you very much for your reply, Doitsu ans mrmikel. I thought my post had been deleted by the moderator. I am making different chapters in Sigil and cal them: section_001_titlepage, section_002_approbatio, section_003_chaper_001, section_004_chapter_002 etc. Sigil gives no errors. When I open this file in Adobe Digital Editions I see two windows: in the right window I see my romance, each chapter starting at the top of a page, In the left window I only see: start. What I hoped to see is: start, titlepage, approbatio, chaprer_001, chapter_002 etc. So a reader can jum to chapter 037. Is that possible?
I will follow the answer of Doitsu. If I succeed I will let you know.

Yours,

Willem

I have created a TOC in Sigil in a window on the right side of my screen. It works. But ... when I import this epub file into Acrobat Digital Editions 2.0 I just see "start" in the left index window.

Surprise! All of a sudden the chapter structure is being showed in the index window of Digital Editions. Thanks for your support!

Yours,

Willem
