- Kepub with the spans applied incorrectly. Again, this means the locations in the book cannot be recorded properly. There have been some issues with the some recent versions of the extended driver and Kepub Output plugin that might have caused problems, but, this wasn't something that I explicitly looked at. I believe all issues have been fixed. But, all of this is done by reverse engineering from purchased books, so it might be wrong.
From the original report, I don't know which of the above is the most likely to have been the cause. |
I've noticed some oddities in the book. for instance, each part file of the chapters contains 2 or 3 chapters each in the book container instead of 1 per file. also, navigation and chapter table of contents seem odd to me. and behave odd. if i page backwards to the previous chapter, sometimes the book jumps to a much earlier chapter. assuming that could also be the epub structure.
not sure how to apply spans? is that the plugin or something i can edit in the book? like certain css spans? the converted file seems odd to me. instead of css classes, they all appear to be .calibre classes. and I'm not sure what they should look like or how the chapter files related to the toc. i have web coding knowledge and it looks like an epub is basically a web page in a zip file. go figure... i just don't know the epub specific traits....
