Links to files in the same folder

Ted Friesen · 07-03-2020, 02:42 PM

Why would this be accepted: (the link works)
<a href="Prologue.xhtml">

But this is not: (the link doesn't work)
<a href="c01.xhtml">

And must be changed to:
<a href="OEBPS/Text/c01.xhtml">

Even though both "Prologue.xhtml" and "c01.xhtml" are in the text folder with the "TOC.xhtml" file that includes the <a href call.

If one is working and the other is not, then both files are not in the same folder. The view of files on the left does not show folders, it shows categories.

Got it. I was confusing categories with location. Thanks.

I see ,then, that some of my books have all the files in the same folder, but that others use a folder structure like: 0EBPS/text/c01.html for some files but not all.

The bulk rename in the file browser will rename "c01". Is there a bulk utility that will change the "OEBPS/text" prefix (ie. move the files)?

*EDIT*
No need for a reply. I found a quick and dirty way to accomplish what I wanted. Thanks for the great program.

I find the structure is easier to follow if I always use "Tools, Arrange into Folders" in the editor

Sometimes when adding fonts and/or style sheets some references don't always point to the right locations and require manual tweaking

Thank you again Paul. I had not used that feature before.
