Image maps as Chapter Headings?
Is there a way to use images for chapters, i.e. a bitmap that says "CHAPTER ONE", etc.., but still have the text "CHAPTER ONE" show up in the Table of Contents?

I can set the image to h3, but the TOC (of course) is blank. If I edit the TOC, it replaces the image. Is there anyway to have both, but not have the text show up? I tried using alt text in the image, but that didn't work.

What I did was go ahead and create the book in Sigil with the 'blank' TOC entries and then unzip the epub and manually edit the toc.ncx to add the labels.

Example from a book I just worked on (the red text was what I added later the rest came out of the epub from Sigil)...

You can put anything between the heading tags to make Sigil link to it in the NCX, and set the "title" attribute on the <h#> element to get the text.

So, "<h1 title='Chapter 1'><img ... ></h1>". The TOC would link to that heading element (and by extension, the images inside it) and the TOC entry would say "Chapter 1".

Good to know.

I really need to create a FAQ wiki page... People need to be able to see how some commonly encountered problems are solved.
