TOC in AZW3

pirl8 · 08-18-2012, 01:50 PM

I wonder what's wrong with the attached ePub (it's Galileo's "Sidereus Nuncius").

When I convert it to AZW3 with Calibre (v0.8.65 on WinXP) the generated TOC is not based on that of the ePub but is made up with the footnotes.
If I convert the same with KindlePreviewer the TOC is OK.

What am I doing wrong?

I think you're confounding/conflating/confusing the inline (html) TOC and the NCX navigation TOC. Kindlegen (Previewer) doesn't create an inline TOC, so you must be referring to the navigational (ncx) TOC when you say Kindlegen's version is "OK."

I suspect the the NCX TOC on the calibre converted AZW3 is OK too. Which means that the automatically created/detected inline (html) toc that calibre builds is where you're having trouble.

Unfortunately, it must be the Structure Detection settings you're using in calibre that are at fault, because using calibre's default settings... I get the same (expected and correct) NCX and inline TOC using calibre or Kindlegen. I definitely don't see any of the footnotes in either TOC.

I was using default settings. Now I've disabled structure detection and it works. Thank you!
