Chapter splitting broken?

Sarmat89 · 08-22-2020, 04:26 AM

I tried to use the "Split at Chapter Breaks" function, and it doesn't seem to work. The chapter markers are in the text:

Code:

<hr class="sigilChapterBreak" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>

Is it a bug?

The split marker class name has changed in recent versions. If you're using a clip, you'll need to change it to:

Code:

<hr class="sigil_split_marker" />

Is it possible to add the compatibility with the older syntax?

According to the code, it should still work:

From: XHtmlDoc.cpp in Sigil/src/BookManipulation/

const QString BREAK_TAG_SEARCH = "(<div>\\s*)?<hr\\s*class\\s*=\\s*\"[^\"]*(sigil_split_marker|sigilChapterBreak)[^\"]*\"\\s*/>(\\s*</div>)?";

So it should still work as either string is looked for.

What platform and Sigil version are you using?

Have you tried without the unneeded xmlns attribute? That attribute is typically set on the html tag and then inherited and is not needed or included when Sigil itself generates the split marker. And from the regex would make that split marker undetectable.

Try removing the xmlns attribute with a search and replace leaving just the one on the html tag itself.

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

I've just tested this. Without the unneeded xmlns attribute the older class name still works.
