Must do some work

Quote:
Adding the cover image to a html file does not automatically add the file to the table of contents in the toc.ncx/nav.xhtml file. That requires you to do some work
Nope, I'm not putting the book on here. scrambled or not. I've been around computers for too long to trust ANYTHING on the web. What one man can scramble another can UNscramble and there are more criminals out there (10,000 blocked hacker IP addresses already on my firewall).

I'm quite happy to "do some work" all you have to do is tell me HOW. I'm an ex-Novell eDirectory Engineer and Delphi Pascal programmer. That doesn't make me an expert in epubs or ePub terminology. If I was, I wouldn't be asking for help.

You glibly speak of 'cover.xhtml' I don't have one. I have a titlepage.xhtml (which I was led to believe is also the cover).

If you are using Kobo kepub format, you are pretty much required to have every text file in the nav.xhtml (ePub3) or toc.ncx (ePub2) but otherwise, you could just have a single entry (Start is rather popular).
I don't believe I ever mentioned ePub3 or Kobo. I thought this forum was for SIGIL I'm not trying to create a new version Doomsday weapon or anything else. It's a simple help guide for myself AND MY FRIENDS (of which I have few) and I don't work for all the people who want to grab a copy of everything in print and give it away for free.

If I start muttering about 'replicas in skulk' or 'unprocessed obituary flags' and 'subordinate references' I would be surprised if anyone understood a word, yet it's OK for you to start on about Kodo kepub format.

I think I came to the wrong forum and asked far too much. You need to have an in-depth knowledge BEFORE you ask for help. I wonder how long I would have lasted with Novell if I'd tried my best to confuse people who knew NOTHING about the product?
