How To Stop It From Splitting HTML Files?

Hello,

I use a combination of programs (like most folks I guess) to do my formatting, but I've noticed that I tend to loose my chapter links after outputting an epub file with Calibre. What I do is to usually start out in html and then use Sigil for making the initial epub from that. Then I'll bring the epub into Calibre to resave it as epub again while using the "remove spacing between paragraphs" function to get my single spaced lines with proper indents. This works fine except that the epub that Calibre outputs splits the html files into chucks, and in doing so, the chapter links will only work up till the first page split. My only solution so far has been to bring the contents of the zip file into Sigil once more, copy the code from any pages AFTER the first page split, and paste them back to the first page so that it's all one long html page again, and resave it once more. This works fine, but it's a lot of steps.

I'm new to this stuff, and I realize there must be a better way. I was hoping there was a command I was missing in Calibre that would stop it from splitting the file up while exporting as epub. Short of that, I'm sure there must be some way to format the indents properly within Sigil, possibly with CSS? I know some old-time html but never really learned much about style sheets.

Any help would be appreciated.
