split html files not updating links

ni_c · 11-23-2015, 05:58 AM

Hi, i need to split a bunch of html files/pages and theyve all got internal links, but the links arent always updated to match the new split names

by default with a file called one.html, internal links might look like

<a href="one.html#L1">1</a>
<a href="one.html#L2">2</a>

when split, the second file will be renamed one_split1.html, and if split between the two links, the second link should be automatically renamed like

<a href="one.html#L1">1</a>
<a href="one_split1.html#L2">2</a>

but finding links arent always being renamed, so looks glitchy

is this a known bug?

Works for me. You need to attach a file that demonstrates the problem along with where in the file it needs to be split to create the issue.

ok, i wont upload the book in question being against policy for copyrighted stuff

but will update the thread with more details after checking to see how often its drops the ball with that particular book, will need another 60 odd splits made, will keep a tally

thanks for the link Peter, will check it out.

As for the problem, none of the links links for new file splits were renamed. Havent as yet checked other ebooks, so dknow if its repeatable enough to file a bug report. Will get to it another time tho
