Table of Contents.xhtml
List of Illustrations.xhtml
Frontpiece.xhtml (image) marked in Sigil as Text and is Start Reading point.
Chapter_I.xhtml
...
Start Reading marks the point where the body of the book begins whether text or image.
Am I picking nits? No doubt. I guess I will continue my post editing atempting to get MOBI as accurate as possible. At any rate, this thread has been most fun and I have learned a great deal.
Thanks a lot, guys and ladies.  |
Do I understand correctly that the issue is that--hypothetically--the "start reading" point isn't TEXT? That's it is an image used as a frontspiece? As opposed to actual text?
I really am confused. The reader
doesn't see the guide items in a TOC in any event, whether they're called "text" or "start reading" or "Bob's-yer-Uncle," so I am totally lost here as to the nits being picked. The only point of "text" or "start reading" or "Bob" is that it links to the spot to open the book--the human reader doesn't SEE it. So what information are they garnering from what it's
named?
