Hello, Buggins, thank you for taking the time to post here. I really appreciate CoolReader and use it all the time with my other files, which is why the way it handles .txt is such a problem.
The thing is, all my .txt files are treated the same way. They're mostly fanfiction posted on LJ and DW, and saved as a text file. Some are 100 word drabbles, others are 15,000 words serials. Some of them mark chapters as *Chapter*, _Chapter_, - Chapter - or have scene breaks marked with *** or --- or +++ on a new line, and others are just plain text, no special formatting or line breaks. They often contain short lines of dialog, which might be what CoolReader recognizes as a chapter title. That is a problem, since it means that I often encounter pages with two-three lines, the first of which is bolded.
I cannot post the files here, as I'd be archiving them on a public website which is not done without asking first, but I can upload them to box.net and send the link in a PM, if that's alright.
