I updated Calibre last night and now am unable to convert my book from html.

I have a custom html template that I use, in fact the book in question was created from the template 2 months ago. All I changed was a single spelling error and now when I try to convert I get the following error:

Code:

calibre.ebooks.oeb.transforms.split.SplitError: Could not find reasonable point at which to split: EPUB-TaH.html Sub-tree size: 293 KB

Does anyone have a clue what's changed? I know I can increase the split size for now, but again, all that changed was a single character in the html file which converted fine 2 months ago.

I've tried adding <br /> before the chapters but Calibre doesn't appear to see them.

Here is how my chapters are set up currently:

Code:

<p class="chapter centered"><span class="centered">CHAPTER 1</p></span>

And I use this structure detection:

Code:

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

with this level 1 TOC xpath:

Code:

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

Thanks for any input you might have.

**Update**
Apparently increasing the split size isn't good enough. Doing so allows the conversion to be completed, but the result is a cover and 296 blank pages. I'm at a total loss here. I've been using Calibre for almost a year now with this template so I'm stuck at this point.
