Help with detecting chapters

vmd108 · 07-27-2015, 02:33 PM

Hello,
I am quite new with writing codes, but I would like to use option for detecting chapters (Structure Detecting) with Calibre.
My input us in docx file format.
Can someone please help

The original, default in the distribution uses these keywords:

Code:

//*[((name()='h1' or name()='h2') and re:test(., '\s*((chapter|book|section|part)\s+)|((prolog|prologue|epilogue)(\s+|$))', 'i')) or @class = 'chapter']

What does it means?

If you use that conversion detection setting?

Calibre will use the words Chapter, Book, Section, Part, prolog, prologue, epilogue if in a H1 or H2 Header as a marker to spllit and make a TOC entry
(ore if the HTML tag has class="chapter"

It matches an XPath to identify as a chapter. See the calibre xpath tutorial: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/xpath.html

This does not work for me

It is very confusing since I am not good with codes and programming

We can help you come up with the right XPath, but you need to tell us how the input document is formatted.

If Header styles were used in the DOCX, the default should work....
