a new test

so to puzzle out more of my own ocnfusion I took a different book & delibarately picked an awkward one whth had 2 <h2> tage per chapter.

then I added the word test into the toc file
so I had this code:

Code:

<navPoint id="navPoint-2" playOrder="2">
      <navLabel>
        <text>1</text>
      </navLabel>
      <content src="Text/chapter01.xhtml"/>
    </navPoint>
    <navPoint id="navPoint-3" playOrder="3">
      <navLabel>
        <text>THE BEGINNINGS OF CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE test</text>
      </navLabel>
      <content src="Text/chapter01.xhtml#sigil_toc_id_1"/>
    </navPoint>

I sent that via the kepub plug in to aura HD.

What I see in the footer for that chapter is the number 1 - so it seems to take the 1st toc entry that links to that xhtml files and use that as it's foot label.

that book also had a chapter called conclusion. Only one toc entry for that chapter, so I changed it to to say conclusion test, and that is what shows in the footer on the aura. so the renderer uses what is in the toc, not what is in the chapater html file.

in hte aura toc I ahve both of the entires shown above & both go to the same place.

so that seems well behaved. I've dumped a copy into drop box so I will swee waht the kobo tablet app makes of it later.

Also, looking on my tablet, I see that an old copy of the previous problem boo is still uploaded to my google play books account. Now there's no way to get it back out of google play to examine the code, but what I think I see is that google books ignores the actual toc & compiles its own, by picking up what is in the 1st header tag of each html file in the epub

l. So where there is a header tag for story title, followed by another one for author, google just shows the 1st one. and where there are 2 stores in one xthml files, it does not show a link to the 2nd story, so it is not checking all the <h2> tags, its just takng 1st one it finds. google books does not do footers so no more clues there.

A proper test would mean making a test case book with all sorts of stuff in toc ,then uploading it to google play & comparing display with all the other options but that is straying off topic. That is something for another rainy day.
