EPUB Table of Contents

Acey · 11-18-2008, 08:13 AM

I created a book of feeds using the following syntax:

Code:

html2epub index.html --level1-toc=//*[@class="feed"] --level2-toc=//*[@class="article"]

The main table of contents works well but when I select one of the chapters it brings up a page which I can navigate through using the directional & enter buttons rather than the "true" table of contents which can be accessed via the number keys. How do I get a proper multi-level table of contents?

That should work

I can repeat this issue:

Code:

feeds2disk "USA Today" --test

Delete the OPF and NCX files.

Code:

html2epub index.html --level1-toc=//*[@class="feed"] --level2-toc=//*[@class="article"]

The 2nd level of the table of contents will not be created.

Opening a ticket now...

If you're using feeds2disk anyway, why not use the existing OPF+NCX files?

I'm working with a set of html files created with feeds2disk that were merged together manually so there is no OPF or NCX file for that set of files. It seems it would not create a 2nd level TOC for any set of html files (unless of course you had an OPF & NCX file).

Well you can use the toc options provided you make sure there is a level1 toc in each file that has a level2 toc as well. Currently that's not possible with the output of feeds2disk, but in the next release I'll add a class name to the feed title so you can use that option.

Kovid: Can you clarify this? Is there a way currently to create a level1 TOC on a per-file basis?

What would the syntax be to create an EPUB with level 1 & 2 TOC in the next release?

Thanks for all your help.

html2epub index.html --level1-toc=//*[@class="feed_title"] --level2-toc=//*[@class="article"]
