Code:
<guide>
<reference type="cover" title="Cover" href="Text/cover.xhtml"/>
<reference type="text" title="Start reading" href="Text/chapter1.xhtml"/>
<reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="Text/TOC.xhtml"/>
</guide>
epub3 (nax.xhtml)
Code:
<nav epub:type="landmarks" id="landmarks" hidden="">
<h1>Landmarks</h1>
<ol>
<li>
<a epub:type="cover" href="../Text/cover.xhtml">Cover</a>
</li>
<li>
<a epub:type="bodymatter" href="../Text/chapter1.xhtml">Start reading</a>
</li>
<li>
<a epub:type="toc" href="../Text/TOC.xhtml">Table of Contents</a>
</li>
</ol>
</nav>
The cover image is tagged in the content.opf file in both versions as:
Code:
<meta name="cover" content="cover.jpg" />
I find this method much easier than hovering over each file with the mouse pointer. |
Doits:
I love ya, but that is NOT the same as being able to instantly check the checkmark.
I will say that if the concept is that the () indicates that the semantic is set, perhaps it is just a matter of habituation. I'll also say that I wasted about 10 minutes the other day, screwing around with JUST this thing. I think that the Duck's suggestion, of some other indicator in the tooltip (bold, or..?) would be helpful.
It's not as quick/user-friendly, though, if you end up setting it because it's not there. The old method allowed you to invoke, check, back-out if unneeded, or click if needed. Very simple and clean. Yes, I know that your programmer's brain thinks that invoking=bad, but that's because you are only looking at it from the side of "already set, not needed." If you think about it from the side of the other 50%-100% of the times, it's right-click to invoke, visual check, click to set. See what I mean?
I think I can honestly say that I've NEVER checked the semantic meta using reports, and I, too, used the checkmark method
forever.
Offered FWIW.
