Using v 0.8.6 portable on Win8.1 (also tried with v 0.9.5 portable on Win7).
I have the split markers inserted, as I always do. I have a separate xhtml file as a List of Illustrations, with links to the divs holding the images. I have another separate Footnotes file, also with links.
When I use the command "Split at Markers" --- The Footnotes links update automatically, as they should, going from this:
Code:
<body>
<div class="chaphead">
<h2 class="botmspace" id="fnot">FOOTNOTES:<br />
</h2>
</div>
<div class="fnote">
<a href="../Text/TENT.xhtml#fnc-01" id="fnt-01">[1] —</a> The ordinary .....
</div>
<div class="fnote">
<a href="../Text/TENT.xhtml#fnc-02" id="fnt-02">[2] —</a> When this .... </div>
To this:
Code:
<body>
<div class="chaphead">
<h2 class="botmspace" id="fnot">FOOTNOTES:<br />
</h2>
</div>
<div class="fnote">
<a href="../Text/TENT_0004.xhtml#fnc-01" id="fnt-01">[1] —</a> The ordinary ....
</div>
<div class="fnote">
<a href="../Text/TENT_0008.xhtml#fnc-02" id="fnt-02">[2] —</a> When this .... </div>
The LOI, however, goes from this:
Code:
<body>
<div class="chaphead">
<h2 id="loi" title="List of Illustrations">ILLUSTRATIONS</h2>
</div>
<div class="fmattr">
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/TENT.xhtml#ttd-01">It was ...</a>
</div>
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/TENT.xhtml#ttd-02">A marvel...</a>
</div>
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/TENT.xhtml#ttd-03">We anointed ...</a>
</div>
To this, completely deleting the file-name(s):
Code:
<body>
<div class="chaphead">
<h2 id="loi" title="List of Illustrations">ILLUSTRATIONS</h2>
</div>
<div class="fmattr">
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/#ttd-01">It was...</a>
</div>
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/#ttd-02">A marvel...</a>
</div>
<div class="sgc-toc-level-p">
<a href="../Text/#ttd-03">We anointed...</a>
</div>
I did this same operation last week on a very similar book which has almost identical layout, formatting, css, etc --- EXCEPT that one had no Footnotes page/file. That book worked flawlessly. I did try deleting the Footnotes file in this problem book, just in case Sigil is having a problem simultaneously dealing with more than one file that contains multiple links, but that made no difference --- links continue to break.
I have not had this problem since v 0.7.4. (see here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=231360 ) Obviously, there must be something peculiar to the book I am currently editing, but I can't find the gremlin.
I am attaching the UN-SPLIT draft versions of both the books, in case better eyes than mine (meaning 99% of the planet's population) can find a reason for the different behaviors. (By the way, it made no difference whether or not the images were included in the epub, so I deleted those for the attached files.)
Here, I am only dealing with 19 broken links, and it would not be too painful to correct them manually, but I have an up-coming project with several hundred links, and I want to correct my bad behavior before I dig into that one.
Thanks very much for any advice!
