epub - unwanted page break after image

The HTML source I am using has an image at the top of each chapter start page. The first time the image is encountered, the image is followed by the text. At the start of chapter 1 the very same HTML is encountered and it throws in a page break after the image:
<body
style="background-image: url(../img/bg-usn.gif); direction: ltr;">
<center>
<img src="img/PT.jpg"></center>
<center>
<h2>Part I<br>

Any suggestions?

Don't use <center>, use CSS text-align instead.

use css

Thanks for the suggestion, but no go. No luck putting the image in a div either.

Disable chapter detection. I'm pretty sure what's happening is calibre is detecting your header tag with "Part" in it as a chapter break and inserting a page break prior to it.

I think you're absolutely right, llasram!. In fact, removing the "Part" part (;)) from your X-Path-expression should be enough to prevent the pagebreak if you need the chapter detection otherwise..

Many thanks

Eliminating part from the X-path got rid of the page break. The text is from a series of HTML pages on the web, so navigation is built in anyway.

This gets rid of a road block so I just need to improve links to and from footnotes and then it will be ready to post.

Again, many thanks,

Mike
