how to handle this 'book'?
I hope this is the proper place to ask this.
I have a folder on my desktop of html files that are chapters of a book. The folder is the book- with each file being one of the chapters. I assume there is a way to combine these into a book in calibre and vaguely recall seeing something about how to approach this somewhere but I've no idea where I saw it or what to call the problem! I think after combining I would like to convert to a mobi file? Advice or help please? Thanks scott |

Most html-based books that I've run into seem to already have an index file, and all that link is doing is explaining how to make an index.html by hand. |

Thank you so much.
I have tried several times to RTFM. I usually spend a couple hours attempting just that before I subject myself to the inevitable RTFMD. I find the Calibre FM particularly confusing. I did so this time as well. I will try to muddle through the suggestions, thank you. scott |

It is there. It is usually, technically correct. It surely is not a simplified, 'Dummies' guide or 'cookbook' (but there are some good recipes interspersed). This is not a slur on what we have (and I don't volunteer to write a better one because I am a terrible writer) When I buy a programming book. I poke through the stack until I find one that is written more more as a Tutorial than a reworded reference guide, explaining what we do to get this results. |
