Trying to update such an epub gives me "FanFicFare doesn't recognize chapters in existing epub...". Which makes sense--it doesn't match FFF's file structure anymore. |
FYI, I've just bumped into a different, but related issue to the one above from late 2021.
Calibre's Convert 'Structure detection' also has a "Insert page breaks before (XPath expression)" which defaults to an XPath of 'any h1 or h2 tag'.
I've just found a story where the author elected to put their own h1 tag titles in each chapter's text--in addition to the site provide chapter titles. Which Convert inserted page breaks before.
For me, it was a minor irritation when my book was converted to AZW3. Someone doing epub->epub like the original problem above would end up with broken epubs as far as FFF update is concerned.
Put / by itself in the "Insert page breaks before (XPath expression)" setting to disable it (from the setting tooltip).
