Calibre separates text into different pages

[brianj6]

I tried to use Calibre to convert my novel, but wound up using Mobipocket Creator instead with no problems.

When I tried Calibre (and I tried more than once), it took the words on my title page and the chapter title on the first page of the text and separated them onto their own individual pages.

Any idea why this happened?

Both had the same level H tags

there is a (Common) conversion setting under Heuristics, to re-sequence tags to prevent that

By default, calibre will create a break and start a new page every time it encounters a new heading tag/specification. If you either use heading formatting for non-heading items (e.g. author's name on the title page, ...) or break a single heading into multiple separate headings (happens with some creation programs when headings are manually broken into multiple lines).

There are controls on the "Structure Detection" page in calibre's conversion dialog to alter this behavior. These will often be sufficient to accomplish the task. Sometimes, though, it is easier and/or more straightforward to convert the original to ePub first and edit the ePub in Sigil to correct the formatting before converting the ePub to Mobi.
