Help converting chapter headings
Some books have chapter headings with the word One, Two, Three.... etc Just the word standing alone on it's on line, with a blank line above it and below it.
Is there a way to *automatically* detect these chapter headings? I used ebook-convert to convert from pdf to epub, but the chapter headings didn't come along. Thanks, Paul |

Try enabling heuristics and be sure the "detect and markup chapters..." option is enabled. You may want to try converting a few times with some of the other heuristic options disabled. They can do some pretty extensive modification to the document.

Thanks, for turning me on to it. Paul |

just beware of ticking italicise commen phrases option in heuristics - unles that is now completely debugged. I got so fed up with idea being replaced by i.e.

That was fixed a number of versions ago. I haven't had an new bug reports about issues with it so I'd say it's been pretty well debugged.
