Table of Contents marker

timrh · 07-24-2013, 12:40 PM

I have a document in Open Office (saved as Word .DOC) with a table of contents generated in it. I mark that TOC with a bookmark (TOC) - if I send that to Kindle using Amazon tools, then all is well and the TOC works and can be navigated to using Kindle navigation to Table of Contents. If I process this through Calibre, then Calibre places a new TOC at the end and the jump is to the TOC at the end. If I suppress creation of the extra TOC, then although the TOC remains at the beginning, the bookmark is no longer recognised and the option for a jump to TOC is grayed out. Any thoughts?

I assume you are feeding calibre html, in which case you need to identify the toc in the opf file before conversion, in the <guide> section of the opf.

Can you point me in the right direction here? Yes, I am feeding it html directly without an opf file - everything works apart from the TOC - there is an entry <a name="toc"></a> in the HTML though.
