TOC id

hunchermuncher · 10-05-2012, 10:13 AM

Newbie Question:

I used Sigil to automatically create the TOC. It gave me:

Code:

  <p><a id="link3"></a></p>

  <h2 id="heading_id_15">Wrong Names</h2>

Do these two lines go together or is the line redundant?

What version of Sigil?
Were you generating the standard table of contents or an HTML table of contents?

I gotta be honest... I don't think Sigil had anything to do with the "<a id="link3"></a>" bit regardless of which TOC you were generating. I would hazard a guess that the line isn't necessary, but without seeing the whole ebook, it's impossible to know for sure what else—if anything—might be dependent upon on that "link3" anchor.

It may be complementary

, for use by an hand coded inline TOC or foot/end notes. If you have neither... it is obsolete data.

Note: Sigil 6 (now in beta) can create a simple inline TOC from the traditional EPUB NCX.

Thanks very much for both replies. I think the line is redundant and is probably a hangover from a pre-existing TOC which I have deleted, so I think the lines like this can go. I will save a version before I try just in case!
