Sorry, misunderstood. I've found that if I leave Calibre's 'Convert books' dialogue, in the section 'Structure detection', with the path 'Detect chapters at (XPath expression):' field filled in automatically like this:

Code:

//*[((name()='h1' or name()='h2') and re:test(., 'chapter|book|section|part|prologue|epilogue\s+', 'i')) or @class = 'chapter']

and with the same 'Structure detection' section's field 'Insert page breaks before (XPath expression): filled in automatically like this:

Code:

//*[name()='h1' or name()='h2']

and with the 'Table of Contents' section filled in (by me) like this:

Code:

//h:p[re:test(@class, "chapter", "i")]

then the result when I ok that dialogue and save the book is that this seems to work.

However, I haven't yet worked out how to get the paragraphs to sit close together like a normal book; there's vast leading between them. Is there any way to open a .mobi file and look at it, so I could look into one that *does* work and see what they've done?
