Adding Splits to an EPUB

rlevesque · 02-03-2017, 10:02 AM

I am converting a Word docx to EPUB. The EPUB has split the file into two sections. I want splits at each chapter break instead. Is there a way to insert splits? And also to remove the existing split which came in the middle of a chapter?

Thanks.

Use the Calibre editor. It's very easy to split files.

Simply insert page breaks in your word file they will be converted into splits in EPUB

I do it in the convert, I think these are the relevant settings in Preferences>Conversion:

Structure detection->Detect chapters at (XPath expression):
Structure detection->Chapter mark: pagebreak
Structure detection->Insert page breaks before (XPath expression):
Epub Output->Do not split on page breaks unchecked

Try the default XPath settings and adjust if required

I wrote 'I think' because it took me a while to get them right for my purposes, and it was several years ago. I don't use hard coded 'page breaks' in my DOCX's, but I do have Page break before on the Heading 2 Style

I figured out how to do the merge and split using editor. Not exactly intuitive but it's done. Thanks for the help.
