Text import - loan words
I have noted that when I import a text file which uses Markdown formatting for italic characters (_txt_) things work fine except in two circumstances -
1) The italics should extend over more than one word e.g. _Hard Times_ (this may only happen when the phrase extends over more than one line) 2) A single word contains an accented character e.g _littérateur_ I can understand the problem in correctly identifying (1) as a missing closing _ can mean whole pages in Italics, however is there some setting I can use in Calibre to catch case (2). This is an unfortunate side effect of a book which, although in English, is loaded with foreign words. BobC |

Set the input encoding correctly to whatever the encoding of the txt file is.

If I change to Markdown for the Formatting Style then the chapters aren't detected but the italics are properly interpreted for accented characters. A bit of initial editing of the text file sorted this out so chapters are correctly identified in Markdown form. I now have Chapters, a TOC and correct italics. Thanks BobC |
