Table of contents and index

Frenchguy · 10-27-2017, 02:40 PM

Hello,

With Calibre editor, it is possible to create and edit a table of content.

Is there a way to create an index too? May be with another html editor ?

Thanks

There is a dedicated tool to ease editing of the Table of Contents. Launch it with Tools → Table of Contents → Edit Table of Contents.

For books that do not have a pre-existing Table of Contents, the tool gives you various options to auto-generate a Table of Contents from the text. You can generate from the headings in the document, from links, from individual files and so on.

There's also a ToC building tool in the calibre ebook-editor's Tools Menu - I wouid guess it's the same or v. similar to the stand alone tool referenced by bernie.

The Sigil epub editor has an Indexing toolkit - also in its Tools Menu, I don't think calibre's ebook-editor has such a thing.

Bernie actually only referenced the tool built into the editor.

Thanks but may be my question wasn't clear.
I was not speaking of a table of contents, which I already have, but of an index (in addition to the TOC), which is different

Your index is an inline Table of Contents that becomes part of the text of the book?

If so, (I repeat) you can see in the Calibre manual: Inserting an inline Table of Contents.

As BetterRed mentioned, Sigil is able to generate an index. calibre can't do it itself.

Alternatively, if your source file is a Word document, you can use Word for creating the index and then import the word file in the editor.
