Nested table of content
Hi there !

I purchased a Kobo libra 2 and have issue creating a nested table of content.
This seems to be a common issue for books with lots of chapters such as the Bible.

This messages points to the kobo spec file that tells it should work for ebook v3
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3432393&postcount=6

The document in itself gives details about how the nav should be done:
https://github.com/kobolabs/epub-spe...f-contents-toc
More details in:
https://www.w3.org/publishing/epub3/...ec-package-nav

I try to follow those doc and ended up with something like this:
Code:
<nav epub:type="toc" id="toc">
<h1>Table of Contents</h1>
 <ol>
      <li><a href="01-TOC.xhtml">Table Of Contents</a></li>
      <li><a href="02-Foreword.xhtml">Foreword</a></li>
      <li>
          <a href="03-Gen.xhtml">Genesis</a>
                 <ol>
                 <li><a href="03-Gen-001.xhtml">1</a></li>
                 <li><a href="03-Gen-002.xhtml">2</a></li>
                 …
                </ol>
      </li>
         …
 </ol>
</nav>
It display as intended in Sigil, but on the actual kobo device, the table of content is still flat.

The actual file validate and is available here:
http://87.106.205.222/test-epub/hb-18may-3.kepub.epub

Any idea If I am doing something wrong or if the kobo is not able to display embedded list other than as a flat list ?

As far as I can see, the ToC is working as designed. The ToC is displayed with each level indented a little further than the previous level.

But, you haven't actually said what is wrong. I suspect you think it should be able to expand and collapse the "trees". If so, Kobo does not do this on these devices.

Oh right, I did not even notice the chapter number where indented a bit.
You are correct, what I feel is wrong is the inability to expand/collapse the tree in order to be able to look for a specific entry without having to scroll for hundreds of pages.

If the default Kobo reader does not allow this, any one know if Kaoreader or Platon propose such a feature ?

Koreader does it.

Indeed, it does. It's way more convenient this way. Thanks for the info.
