Code:
<a style="page-break-before: always;" name="CHAPTER_I" id="CHAPTER_I"></a> <h2>CHAPTER I</h2> but not: <h2 style="page-break-before: always;"><a name="CHAPTER_I" id="CHAPTER_I"></a>CHAPTER I</h2> and I can't recall if this works as well: <h2 style="page-break-before: always;" name="CHAPTER_I" id="CHAPTER_I">CHAPTER I</h2> The use of the name and id is my attempt to allow for a transition from HTML 3.2 to XMHTL 1.1.

The same thing happens in BD when using Endnotes. The <a name=""> must be moved outside the <div>.

I rely solely on the Windows software Reader and can't vouch for it's behaviour on an actual ebook device. Of the three previously listed alternatives, which ones DEFINITELY work when jumping back to the Chapter heading? Last edited by nrapallo; 07-22-2009 at 11:08 AM. Reason: typo |

However, if I was using your .html to create my various ebook formats, then I would need to somehow convert any and all mobi-specific tags into their html equivalent. Which begs the question, why insert them in the first place when html code equivalants exist? I mean, using CSS it is a simple task to add to the <head> section of the .html, the following style declaration: Code:
<style type="text/css"> h2 { page-break-before: always; } .pb { page-break-before: always; } </style> I know the REB1100 uses <hr size=0> or <hr NEW-PAGE> as it's page-break tags and the .imp format uses <pb> as it's shortcut, but would never use them for html code meant to be used for other ebook formats. |

Hi Nick,
Purely because I don't know a better way, I'm afraid. As you know, I use BD as my book editor, and BD inserts an <HR> to mark a page break. The way that I create my Mobi books is to export the BD book as HTML, and then do a series of global search and replace operations, one of which is to replace "<hr>" by "<mbp:pagebreak>". I then feed the resulting HTML to Mobi Creator. If you can suggest an alternate "replacement" for the <hr> tag that I could do to force page breaks, I'll be happy to change my process. |

Code:
<div style="page-break-before: always" /> Now, I can't test which works best on an actual ebook reader (don't own a mobipocket capable one) so experiment which one works (better) for you. |

It won't display anything in a web browser, but on an ebook reader, it will force a new page there. |

Thanks, Nick. I'll let you know what happens. Off the subject. When will IMP be included in Calibre? |
