Adding illustrations to the NCX TOC

[Notjohn]

Since my illustrations have no chapter headings, the Generate/Edit TOC options ignore them. If I want to add them to the NCX TOC, I must go through a three-step process for each: Add Below / Select Target / Rename. Is there an easier way?

(I tried putting in a ghost heading, but that forced a top-margin that worries me because it might cause a blank page on an iPhone screen, for example. I find that if I delete the ghost heading, the TOC entry remains, but that seems worrisome too.)

Did you even READ the post.

@Notjohn,

Try coding your chapter/toc headings like this in the html files:

<h2 class="invisible">Heading 1</h2>

and adding an "invisible" class to your css file:

.invisible {display: none}

Then regenerate the TOC. The TOC should show the invisible heading text but they won't waste space at the top of the page.

I like that! Thank you.

For extra insurance in case the "display: none" fails, also enter the heading name as a "title: " instead of as text between open and closing tags. Then there is no text to accidentally reveal itself if the reader fails to honor the css.

<h2 class="invisible" title="Image 1" />

The TOC will display the entry as Image 1.
