Sigil ePub to MOBI

crutledge · 10-08-2010, 12:41 PM

The following is extracted from a Sigil OPF.

Code:

    <guide>
        <reference type="cover" title="Cover" href="Text/COVER.xhtml"/>
        <reference type="title-page" title="Title Page" href="Text/TITLE_PAGE.xhtml"/>
        <reference type="loi" title="List Of Illustrations" href="Text/LIST%20OF%20ILLUSTRATIONS.xhtml"/>
        <reference type="preface" title="Preface" href="Text/PREFACE.xhtml"/>
    </guide>

When the ePub is converted to MOBI by Calibre, The Title page shows up as both Title Page and as First Page in the Mobipocket Reader "Contents Menu."

Neither the "List Of Illustrations" or "Preface" appear.

Others have told me that all Sigil "Semantics" work except "Text."

I am obviously doing something wrong. Can someone point me to the correct methods?

calibre doesn't support the rest of the semantics. It's a MOBI specific feature that I would suggest you not rely on when creating your files.
