Good idea. That hadn't occurred to me.
Thanks.
EDIT
It proved to be a little tricky initially, as broken chapter links did not help, and I did not feel like refreshing my mind about Xpath (something XML related I seem to recall). So in the end, I did the following.
1. Made sure all the chapter links were correct (both ways).
2. Selected all the split files, and merged them (using that right-click option).
3. Set up Split points at the start of each chapter number & block of HTML, by inserting the following text
<br split=""/>.
4. I then split to the individual chapter files with that, using the code page's right-click option, plus removed the inserted text from the start of each chapter afterward.
5. Then I did a Bulk Rename, placing
part00 at the beginning of each page filename, then specifying to start numbering at the appropriate number.
It all took a while, but worked well.
P.S. Kovid, perhaps you could add a Split marker option, like Sigil has?
P.S.S. First time I have used the calibre Editor, as I was not really properly aware of it, and have just used Sigil in the past, which it is very similar to I might add. Aside from the '<' button being a Revert one, which I keep thinking is a Back button, I quite like it.
