If it's OK, I'd like to suggest a simplification of part of your "Cleanup Your RTF or Word Doc..." instructions. |
Thank you so much for taking the time to help.
I do not mind at all if anyone comes up with a more clear cut way to describe what is happening. I will admit writing the directions was the hardest part of the tutorial even with the screencaps.

I think the problem I ran into is that not everyone is using MS Word to create their HTML. I'll have to test Word Perfect to see how it converts Headings. At one point I tried to set my headings in the RTF before I converted and it didn't work as I expected.
I went more for the approach of removing all excess code and manually inserting chapters...I get far fewer surprises this way. I noticed with Word when I apply Heading 2 to a word it sometimes applied it to the following sentences and other weird stuff like that. It could be because at the time I didn't have paragraph breaks between the Heading 2 and the following sentence?
Some people may be taking HTML files and directly editing the code.
I think I can add a section mentioning that a person can apply the heading styles within their document before converting might help. Most programs should automatically apply the correct tags.
Again thank you so much for writing! I'm going to see how to incorporate your advice into the tutorial.
