Convert command line autotoc

mccnews · 10-29-2012, 12:56 PM

Hello,
I am trying to use calibre in command-line on linux.
First try: html ->epub, keep simple, I want just add a toc in the epub

in my html, chapter titles are as this:

Code:

<H2>1<BR>One and Two</H2>

<h1> is use only onetime for book title

Code:

ebook-convert "$source" "$result" --chapter "//*[name()='H1' or name()='H2']"  --level1-toc "//h:H2"  --use-auto-toc

And nothing, nada, not any title in toc !!
What I don't understand ? and don't do right ?

P: sorry for my english

lowercase h1 and h2 not H1 and H2

Thanks. Oh Yes , (I have used H2 because it is H2 in the source, ebook-convert transform html upper->lowercase before creating the TOC ?) now it works but...

--use-auto-toc alone is not sufficient for getting a toc
--chapter "//*[name()='h1' or name()='h2']" used alone create a toc
--level1-toc "//h:h2" used alone also create a toc

I have read old thread which indicate "--level1-toc" should not used without "--chapter"

So, what is the role of "--use-auto-toc" ?

Of course, only in case of a previous toc in the book, the question was stupid :-)
