If my chapter heading has, say, two lines - one formatted in H1 and the other in H2 - the result is the chapter heading broken up into separate pages when Calibre displays it. What I am after is both lines of each chapter heading as well as the text of the chapter itself displaying on the same ePub 'page'. My concern is that when I send the book to my reader (an Archos 5 32GB Android running the Aldiko eReader) I'm going to have the same issue I'm having in Calibre. For the book in question I am looking at, there are 39 separate HTML documents in the ePub container. There are only 17 chapters and a TOC. I would think I should only see at most 18 or 19 separate files, not 39 of them. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix this?
A rank amateur would like to know. Thanks ahead of time for the he'p!  ) |
I'm probably not the best person to help, but I wouldn't worry about the number of files inside or the contents of the epub, only about the appearance. If you are seeing too many chapters, read the help text of the --chapter-regex and --chapter-attr options (by mousing over them in the GUI) in the Preferences|Conversion|Structure Detection page to see how it detects chapters.
