Table of content troubles with HTML2LRF

[sahlberg]

I just can not fugure out how to do this so please help me :-)

In the HTML book I am marking up I am using chapterheadings and subheadings.
A chapter would thus look something like this in the HTML :

<h2>CHAPTER I</h2>
<h3>name of chapter</h3>

Now I want to have a nice table of content in my LRF book, but I want the entries to look slightly differently!
I want this to show up as

"CHAPTER 1: name of chapter"

in the TOC.


This is what I have tried, trying to use "hidden" headings so they would not show up in the book itself but (and I was naive enough to think that it would still show up in the TOC :-( )

<h2 class='lrfchapter' style='visibility: hidden'>CHAPTER I: name of chapter</h2>
<h2>CHAPTER I</h2>
<h3>name of chapter</h3>

and then running html2lrf with the arguments :
--no-links-in-toc --add-chapters-to-toc --chapter-attr="h2,class,lrfchapter"


This doesnt work because the entries show up with "unknown" due to the visibility: hidden style.


Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this?
Is it possible?

You can use lrf2lrs+lrs2lrf and edit the entries manually. Or you can use html2epub and style="height:0pt" for the elements you want hidden.

Thanks, I tried that and also font-size: 0pt and color: white to no avail.


But I found a way that worked well enough, not exactly what i wanted, but good enough. In case someone else has a similar issue :


SOLUTION:

It is possible to have multiple lines for a chapter heading/subheading in the book but still have it collapsed to a single line in the table of contents :
('lrfchapter' is just a dummy class that does not exist)

<div class='lrfchapter'>
<h2>CHAPTER X</h2>
<h3>On the road again</h3>
</div>

Can be used togehter with

--no-links-in-toc --add-chapters-to-toc --chapter-regex="lrfchapter" --chapter-attr="div,class,lrfchapter"

This will show up in the table of content as :

CHAPTER X On the road again
