Missing TOC in Short Stories
Last night I downloaded the epub of D H Lawrence, The Woman Who Rode Away (collection of short stories).
Very disappointed on finding this has no TOC, making it difficult to find my favourite stories (such as Sun). Would be very grateful if someone could rectify this please. EDIT: The book in question is here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=183222 Last edited by BookCat; 04-28-2022 at 05:30 PM. |

You can use the Calibre editor to build a ToC. |

I realise this was an old upload, but wondered if anyone could update it. |

Just open book in Calibre Editor and use the TOC tool GUI. It can autodetect or let you browse and enter an entry.

You might get lucky and it will be just as simple as two button presses. But it depends how headings are treated in the book. |

I haven't yet put this book on the Libra, it's still just in Calibre where it doesn't show a TOC at the beginning of the book. I'll put it onto the Libra next time it needs charging and see if this works. UPDATE: this works! Thanks. Last edited by BookCat; 05-04-2022 at 09:08 PM. |

I downloaded the book, added the html ToC using one of Sigil's tools, did a bit of cleanup which took a couple of minutes. Last edited by DNSB; 05-05-2022 at 04:01 PM. Reason: Edit: added modified copy |

Thanks. I notice that you've also eliminated the horrid spaces between the paragraphs and indented these instead. I know this can be done during conversion, but it's so much better if this isn't necessary.

Oh my. I just posted a version with a ToC added to the title page, also smartened punctuation. Epub and azw3 versions. @DNSB, I didn't see your post on this sub-forum.
So now MobileRead has multiple versions of this title. ![]() |
