Epub and special characters again

mtravellerh · 01-03-2009, 05:11 PM

I'm sorry, Kovid, but here we do have an issue with special characters again. In this german book, one chapter title begins with a « and this sets the link in the TOC back to 0.

Now, that's no big deal as I just had to change the link target via ncx editing where it belonged, but I really would like to know why it happened in the first place. The book is here and its the second item in the TOC.

To figure out why it happens I'll need the original source you created the epub from

thanks, I'm swamped with work at the moment. Could you open a ticket and attach the files. I'll take a look at it over the next couple of days.
