HTML input plugin stripping text within toc tags in child html file
2 Attachment(s)
Hi,
Same problem as a while ago but have done some more testing. Files attached.
ebook-convert tmp/temptoc.html $mediatargetpath$sku".epub" --max-levels=1 --toc-threshold=6 --cover=$imagedir$sku$cover_image_extension --book-producer="Nimble Combinatorial Publishing" --publisher="Nimble Combinatorial Publishing" --max-toc-links=20 --preserve-cover-aspect-ratio -vv --debug-pipeline="debug" --duplicate-links-in-toc --chapter="/"
From debug, I can tell thathe conversion is getting messed up in the input plugin stage: the following HTML in the source file safe1.html generated from the API call to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...eship_Bismarck
Code:
<table id="toc" class="toc">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="toctitle">
<h2>Contents</h2>
</div>
<ul>
<li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Construction_and_characteristics"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Construction and characteristics</span></a></li>
<li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-2"><a href="#Service_history"><span class="tocnumber">2</span> <span class="toctext">Service history</span></a>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-7"><a href="#Media_portrayals_of_sinking"><span class="tocnumber">3</span> <span class="toctext">Media portrayals of sinking</span></a></li>

<ul>

<li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-10"><a href="#Subsequent_expeditions"><span class="tocnumber">4.2</span> <span class="toctext">Subsequent expeditions</span></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-11"><a href="#References_in_the_Wehrmachtbericht"><span class="tocnumber">5</span> <span class="toctext">References in the Wehrmachtbericht</span></a></li>

after it is passed through the input plugin.
I simplified the TOC html as much as possible, wrapped the simplest possible html around the API html found in source file/safe1.html.
What's happening here?
Any help disentangling this "messy" HTML would be much appreciated!
