Hello all, and please accept my apologies, I've looked all over the net including these forums, and found very little and very old info that's not relevant to the versions of various software I use.
First, my environment:
Linux OS
Calibre 4.1
LibreOffice writer
Bookari (Mantano) on Samsung android tablet
What I'm trying to accomplish in creating an epub book:
Chapter heading
Chapter text, with "1, 2, 3" etc. next to selected words, in superscript
footnotes section linked to the superscript items above
Chapter heading
More of the same, etc.
In LibreOffice Writer, no problem creating the footnotes as I want them, and using "Heading 1" to mark the titles for the TOC. It is in the conversion, in Calibre, that the problem begins. The TOC is create correctly, but:
* The counting does not reset between one chapter and the next
* All the endnotes are grouped at the end of the epub book.
Yes, I know that this is how
endnotes behave, as opposed to
footnotes. But I get the same result in the Calibre viewer just the same.
I did find useful info, instructing me to create Sections, one for each chapter, and configure the endnotes (and not footnotes) to collect at end of section (the feature exists in LibreOffice Writer). This still gives me the same result, I get endnotes grouped at the bottom of the book, numbered 1 through 12 for two chapters, instead of say, 1-5 at the end of chapter 1, and 1-7 at the end of chapter 2, as it should be.
I've been going around in circles for 3-4 days now. I've removed LibreOffice and tried it in OpenOffice, I've even tried it on a straight Win-10 machine with MS-Word, same result every time.
I'm hoping someone has a solution, before I go into the epub book in Calibre and start rearranging the html/xml in there.
Thanks in advance!
