I made some minor adjustments to my preamble and document structure and now I have something into which I can put my HTML sources.
I added:
\usepackage[bookmarks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksopenlevel=0,color links,linkcolor=black,urlcolor=black,pdfhighlight= {/N},pdfstartview={100},pdfpagelabels=true]{hyperref}
And I think this one caused my TOC to show in my reader menu.
I removed the makechapterstyle{normal} (still can't figure out why it didn't work earlier...)
I added:
\begin{center}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\includegraphics[width=95mm,height=118mm]{images/cover.jpg}
\clearpage
\end{center}
so I now even have a cover page! But, how can I make this cover page ignore the margins, header and footer of my document? The header and footer don't get shown (\thispagestyle{empty}) but the space is still reserved...
and I added:
\tableofcontents
But I don't like the way the chapter names are shown. Also, the header "Content" has the same layout as the other chapters of the book. How can I make it different? (so, no spacing above the Content header, for example, and a smaller font for the chapter names?)
and I did look at the fancyhdr package but couldn't make hear nor tails out of it... And what I did also seem to work
The conversion from the HTML into LaTeX isn't too hard, in my case, as my HTML setup is very simple, only using <p>, <div> and <h2> mostly. I'll figure out the footnotes (<a>), images (<img>) and subchapters (<h3>) at a later date
. Things like <i> and <b> and such are easy to replace.
