CoolReader Doesn't See TOC?
How do I get Cool Reader to see the TOC of a book?
Do I need to convert my books to a different format or add a certain tag? Right now I'm using a epub which has a TOC but Coolreader doesn't see it. I'm totally in love with Coolreader. When I found out I don't have font limitations of just 5 custom fonts. I can add as many as I want! I decided to switch to it instead of MOBI. Now what is the best format for coolreader so the book will see the TOC, skip chapters...etc TIA |

Oh I use BookDesigner to make these books so I can just use the source HTMLs to make a fb2?
Normally I make the book in Bookdesigner then save as HTML import to Calibre and make a MOBI file so I would save it as FB2 instead correct? I notice epubs made using calibre The links don't work they take me back to the beginning of a book. Good thing I saved all my source files! I got lots of book to convert now. |

There is also another program that can do batch conversions to FB2 if your source is HTML. The name of that program is Any2FB2, and can easily be found with a Google search. I have never used it though, so I can not say how good it is. In the case of BookDesigner, what you see in BookDesigner is just about exactly how it will look in CoolReader. Since you are interested in a TOC, you need to be sure that all your chapter titles are tagged with the <title> tag. Quote:
If you want to make epubcheck 1.0.5 compliant EPUB after you make an FB2 book, you can do that very simply with the free FB2EPUB program. That program makes a fully specification compliant EPUB from an FB2 in just seconds, but I usually do a few minor changes in Sigil, like removing subtitles from the TOC. |

Thanks so much!
One thing I have learned today is CR3 can't read links with spaces in it. I've also notice you can't select the link at the top of the page. It highlights the second down on any page of links. I've been using BD to insert a TOC at the beginning of the html as work around for the missing TOC While I can fix link space issue the other makes it hard to navigate when that is the chapter you want to go to. |

Thanks again. That works good for FB2 but not so much it seems for EPUB which is why I added the inline TOC because I can hold down 4 key and go to beginning where the inline TOC is if I need to.
I had such a hard time figuring out why CR3 was ignoring my page breaks in epubs. it seems if there is a chapter graphic under the chapter header it wont break the page. Works fine in FBReader Desktop but not in CoolReader Desktop or Lbook's CR. Also you're source htm file name inside the epub can't have any special characters or spaces or the links just wont work at all. This seems to include Apostrophes too. Being new to EPUBs this is taking some time to learn. MOBI is a breeze to make compare to them. lol |
