Can't convert this html doc (attached)

For some reason I can't get Calibre to convert this doc to epub (attached). I have tried both the current version and the beta 0.6 to no avail.

As an aside, when I open the html file in Stanza on the Mac, I get the same result. I can see the book cover, but it has no contents.

If I just open the HTML with Firefox I can see the entire text.

1. I believe Calibre will try follow each of the URL within the index.html and use it to generate the TOC. In you document there seems to be a lot of unresolveable URL. The command line version has a switch to let you pick how deep to follow the URL but it is not available in the UI.

2. Not sure can Calibre handle PNG or not.

This is a rar file. Download a free app to unzip the RAR attachment and try again.

Yes I know it's a RAR file. That's what I used to archive the contents.

I guess I should have said "The HTML file inside this RAR file does not convert...."

I'm afraid that I've had to unapprove the attachment because it is a copyright violation. (The book was published in 2009.)
Might I suggest that if it is possible to recreate an error with a public domain book then it is better to post that?

@phunky

I've got a couple of macs here, I'll give it a try if you can pm me the attachment here or on the plex forums. Either I'll duplicate the problem, or but that will give us some good test data.

Sorry about posting the book here.

I don't get any errors per se. When Calibre imports the book, it shows as 0.0 mb file size. Then, when I convert it to epub and open it in Stanza it is only showing the cover image and no content after that, as if the text of the book didn't get converted over.

Very strange.

And hello there bmfrosty! :-)

Well tried again with the latest beta and it still imports the html file as 0 mb file, and then converts to a 0 mb epub, which, when opened in stanza, has no content.

I can't figure it out.
