I've found TOC issues converting to MOBI as well:

I've emailed the eBook as I don't want it to be open to the public. But I will go and open a ticket without the book attached.

Ticket #2699 has been created.

There seems to be a recursion in the latest beta8. I'm noticing that the command line tool is merging additional several fields fields like the "Book-Producer" to the "Author" tag. The result is something like this
Athtour="Unknown & Plato & BookCreator". I don't know what field the "Unknown" is coming from.

The "Book-Producer" == "BookCreator"

Edit: This problem happens on the meta data for these test formats EPUB, LIT, MOBI, PDB, PDF.
See my next post for the command line switches

Cannot build for LRF get and error message on the command line

Here is the command line options

Okay from the calibre tool I can create a PDF file however through the command line via BookCreator I cannot.

Here is what I am passing in

"C:\Program Files\calibre\ebook-convert.exe" "Plato - Apology_PURIFIED.html" "Plato - Apology.pdf" --title="Apology" --authors="Plato" --language="english" --page-breaks-before="//*[name()='h1' or name()='h2']" --book-producer="BookCreator" --publisher="MR/PG" --tags="Philosophy" --paper-size="a6" --orientation="portrait" --margin-left=3 --margin-right=3 --margin-top=3 --margin-bottom=3 --chapter-mark="pagebreak" --chapter "//h:p[re:test(@class, 'TWOCHAPTERTITLE', 'i')]" --level1-toc="//h:p[re:test(@class, 'TWOCHAPTERTITLE', 'i')]" --level2-toc="//h:p[re:test(@class, 'TWOONECHAPTERSUBTITLE', 'i')]" --level3-toc="//h:p[re:test(@class, 'TWOTWOCHAPTERSUBTITLE', 'i')]" --max-levels=2 --output-profile="default" --input-profile="default"

I've also attached the compressed HTML file and the final PDF file.

LRF from the command line will be fixed in the next beta.

[Garachico]

Can you tell us when you will release the next beta?
Could you fix the convert ".cbz" to "Kindle DX"-problem (blank pages)?

Thank you in advance!

I'm using 0.6.0b8. Please, tell me how turn OFF TOC creation completely??? Tried any thinkable option and that didn't work. I set number of TOC links to 0 and they are created anyway. I convert from fb2 to epub.

Hi user_none,
I finally idientifed what the PDB problem I have been seeing since version b3. It's due to the TOC creating.

If a HTML file has no TOC or just one level of TOC the PDB file is created just fine. However if there is a second level TOC the PDB is not created the converter errors out.

I've attached the zip file with the HTML and command line options.

@=X=, I've opened a ticket for it. It's an issue with the transforming to oeb stage before the output generation. Kovid will have to look into it.

@Garachico, The next beta will be out when it's ready. As for the DX mobi comic bug, a fix has been committed but I can't guarantee it will work.

@Garfunkel, --no-chapters-in-toc and --max-toc-links=0 should turn it off.

Uploaded beta 9 with lots of conversion fixes.

[TevK]

I still get a blank page after each image page when doing CBZ -> MOBI, and a chapter for each page and table of contents are created even when I set "Number of links to add to Table of Contents" to 0.

I submitted tickets for these, but I may have accidentally submitted the tickets twice, since in "View Tickets" I was filtering my username as "owner" not "reporter", so didn't see the ones I'd already put in - my bad!

Please, how to do that using GUI? I guess all those console commands are implemented in the GUI version, right?

OK, I've tried unchecking the "Do not add detected chapters to the TOC" option, and setting "Number of links to add to Table of Contents" to 0. I also changed "Chapter Threshold" to 1 then to 99, nothing helped in any combination. Please, help!
