Trouble w structure detection

jeff47 · 10-12-2010, 09:58 PM

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a ePub I've edited in Sigil to Mobi, using Calibre 0.7.23, for use on my Kindle v3. The problem I'm having is with the structure detection - at least, I assume that's what creates the ticks on the horizontal progress bar on the Kindle.

I've tried a number of things: adding "chapter" to the class of the containing tags and using //*[@class="chapter"] for the 'detect chapters' pattern, even adding just an <hr /> before each chapter and using //h:hr. Neither works.

I do have some divisions in the converted Mobi, but they are not where I want and I don't see the pattern in their creation. Is there some voodoo to this? It seems so simple from the documentation, I don't understand what I'm missing.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Jeff

the marks depend on the creation a correct TOC. You have to setup the TOC detection options to properly detect the chapters in your input document.

The creation af a TOC is separate from the detection of chapters. usually detected chapters become a TOC, but not always. So it best to set the level1 TC detection expression also.
