Converting EPUB to AZW3: TOC loses CSS

Phssthpok · 10-01-2016, 07:41 AM

Using Calibre 2.69, I convert an EPUB with a Calibre-generated TOC to AZW3, and the TOC styles go missing. EPUB before:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">

<head>
  <title>Table of Contents</title>
  <style type="text/css">
      ... standard inline TOC styles
  </style>
</head>
<body id="calibre_generated_inline_toc">
  <h2>Table of Contents</h2>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="OEBPS/Text/ch01.html">Chapter One</a></li>
    <li><a href="OEBPS/Text/ch02.html">Chapter Two</a></li>

and so on. When converted, the AZW3 TOC looks like this:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
  <head><meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <title>Table of Contents</title>
    <link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
    <link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
  <body class="calibre1" id="calibre_generated_inline_toc">
  <h2 class="calibre2" id="UGI1-34fd63a1177c41c0ae1fdcf173149086">Table of Contents</h2>
  <ul class="calibre3">
    <li class="calibre4"><a class="calibre5" href="part0002.html#1T141-34fd63a1177c41c0ae1fdcf173149086">Chapter One</a></li>
    <li class="calibre4"><a class="calibre5" href="part0003.html#2RHM1-34fd63a1177c41c0ae1fdcf173149086">Chapter Two</a></li>

and so on.

Notice the stylesheet links have href="".

This seems to be a new bug since about 2.66...

OK... zip file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9qu63m8o7...ample.zip?dl=0

Contains EPUB sample and result of converting to AZW3. No custom conversion settings. Conversion log just says "Convert book 1 of 1 (Sample), Finished, 100%, time taken 0m 2s".

EPUB TOC:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Table of Contents</title>
<style type="text/css">
 li {
 list-style-type: none;
 padding-left: 0;
 text-indent: -2em;
 margin-left: 1em;
 margin-bottom: 0.2em;
 text-align: left;
 }
 a {
 text-decoration: none;
 }
 h2 {
 font-size: 1.2em;
 text-align: center;
 margin: 2em;
 }
</style>

</head>

<body id="calibre_generated_inline_toc">
<h2>Table of Contents</h2>

<ul>
<li><a href="OEBPS/Text/ch01.html">Chapter One</a></li>
<li><a href="OEBPS/Text/ch02.html">Chapter Two</a></li></ul>
</body>
</html>

Converted AZW3 TOC:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
  <head><meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <title>Table of Contents</title>
    
  <link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
  <body class="calibre" id="calibre_generated_inline_toc">
<h2 class="calibre3" id="UGI1-242b96fe68744506ab7fa88a1fee4602">Table of Contents</h2>

<ul class="calibre4">
<li class="calibre5"><a class="calibre6" href="part0002.html#1T141-242b96fe68744506ab7fa88a1fee4602">Chapter One</a></li>
<li class="calibre5"><a class="calibre6" href="part0003.html#2RHM1-242b96fe68744506ab7fa88a1fee4602">Chapter Two</a></li></ul>
</body>
</html>

Changing this line in the generated AZW3:

Code:

<link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

to this:

Code:

<link href="../styles/0001.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

fixes the problem.
