Calibre and TOC with images
Hi there,
I've put images at the beginning of each chapter rather than the text in a book I'm formatting and I was wondering if there's a way to code the html so that Calibre will create a TOC from it. I can do it if there is text using paragraphs tags a class for "chapter" but not sure what to do when there's no text. Anyone do this before? Thanks! David |

You can insert a hidden text based toc and have calibre use that.
Just wrap your toc in a <div style="display:none"> tag like this Code:
<div style="display:none"> ... </div> |

yes, basically make exactly the same sort of toc you would have if you were making a text based toc

That doesn't seem to be working. I think I'm missing something. Any parameters when I used Calibre to output to epub/mobi that I need to be aware of?

Kovid,
Your "display: none" suggestion does not work properly. It creates the same problems I pointed out about the use of "visibility: hidden" in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=105047 These properties work when you create an ePub file but the TOC is not linked to the proper pages when building a MOBI file. It looks like you have a bug in there somewhere. |

In that case open a ticket and attach a test case.
