class="none" vs class="none1"

[hymie]

Greetings.

I am trying to use Calibre to convert an e-book with lousy chapter marks.

A chapter is marked with
<span class="none">

However, there are other parts of the book (italic text) which are marked with
<span class="none1">

I'm trying to get an XPath that recognizes the difference.

//h:span[re:test(@class, "none", "i")] matches both sets
//h:span[re:test(@class, "none\b", "i")] matches both sets
//h:span[re:test(@class, "none$", "i")] matches nothing
//h:span[re:test(@class, '"none"', "i")] matches nothing

//h:span[re:test(@class, "["]none["]", "i")] is an invalid XPath
//*[@class="none"] matched nothing
//h:span[@class="none"] matched nothing

How can I properly find my chapters?

Thanks.

Are these spans of none and none1 only used for the chapter headers? If so, do a regex to replace the <span> and associated </span> with <h2> and </h2>. Then the xpath for h2 will work.

There's more to the story, but with your advice, I just figured it out.

• Take my original RTF (I left that out of my first post)
• set the output to HTMLZ
• set "how to handle CSS" to "tag"
• convert the RTF to HTMLZ
• take the HTMLZ
• set "detect chapters at" to //h:b
• convert the HTML to EPUB

Thanks.
