OK. So, at least, you're working in HTML. We're making progress.

I then open the formatted html file in Sigil and use the split at curser tool to create a new chapter. So, hopefully, in answering your question it is one big html file that has been split to create the individual chapters.
Good. That's the right way to do it.

Quote:
In Sigil you can view the document, or individual chapters in either Code View or Book View, what I meant about adding the text in the symantics is that I clicked onto the appropriate html section for the start of the book and added text to the symantics there.
OK--I think I understand what you're doing, I hope. You're adding the id or name tag 'start' into the code, is that what you mean? OR, do you mean that you use Sigil's built-in Semantics options to make a given chapter the "Text" location? If you'll tell me which, I can reply and we can wrap this up.

Thx,
Hitch
