New bug on table of contents creation?

saxondawg · 06-18-2011, 01:23 AM

I'm using .8.4. When I now use Microsoft Word to create a document, using headings to generate a table of contents in Calibre, the TOC won't function once the book is made. I'm converting from an .htm made in Word to a .mobi file for the Kindle. I've tried it in Word 2010 and Word 2007, initially thinking it was a Word bug.

Other tables of contents are generating fine--just not when they originate in MS Word, as far as I can tell. Any advice?

I've done two things: Updated Calibre to .8.6 and also turned off heuristic processing. For whatever reason, the problem seems to be done. I'm going to do some more tests.

Okay, well, just in case anybody's listening, there does seem to be some kind of bug in heuristic processing. I have unchecked it in preferences. Something in it is causing html headings>table of content listings to malfunction.

Odds are that heuristics is marking things in a way that doesn't match the xpath under structure detection - it's most likely the 'markup chapter headings' option. Anyway if the TOC works without heuristics then you didn't need heuristics in the first place.
