Chapter links function properly and appear in order and in columns, but the columns are of unequal length. The first column contains about twice the number of links as the remaining four columns, which are filled (part way) from the bottom up. It leaves me with one long column on the left, and four short columns on the right. Aesthetically unattractive. The entries for the links appear identical, and I've been unable to find a solution. I'm a novice at editing ePub, so assume I'm missing something quite simple.
Anyone willing to take a look at the book and tell me what's amiss? I would be grateful.
Many thanks. |
There is a very simple solution. That is to delete the HTML ToC. It's not needed. Just edit the NCX ToC. When you use the ToC function from the ePub software, it's going to display the NCX ToC and not the HTML ToC. The Only time I ever see the HTML ToC (if I've not deleted it) is when I pass by it to get to reading the book.
This advice only works if you are making an ePub 2 eBooks.
