Broken index

galax · 08-18-2024, 12:49 PM

Greetings,

After creating an index in Sigil, which works in the program, koreader is injecting some weird string in ALL nav links:

Code:

#_doc_fragment_24_

The end result is a broken index.

All I am doing is using this in pages

Code:

<a href="#place_01"></a>

And in the TOC this:

Code:

<li><a href="page_01.xhtml#place_01"><b>CHAPTER TITLE</b></a></li>

I would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks

That means it's linking to the 24th "doc fragment", or in other words the 24th .xhtml file within the EPUB. It's supposed to be there, otherwise it wouldn't be able to find it.

What you're doing wouldn't work anywhere because you're supposed to link to id="place_01". It's generally recommended to use that like:

Code:

<h2 id="place_01">CHAPTER TITLE</h2>

Rather than sprinkling in meaningless elements in the general vicinity of what you actually want to refer to.

What a careless oversight!!

Let me get this straight, in nav this:

Code:

<li><a href="page_01.xhtml#place_01"><b>CHAPTER TITLE</b></a></li>

Then in the linked page this:

page_01.xhtml

Code:

<a id="place_01"></a>

What about the # sign in the linked page? In Sigil it works with both but I am not sure what's more correct for epub 3.0:

Code:

<a id="place_01"></a>

or

Code:

<a id="#place_01"></a>

I use the <a> tag because it's for linking images, there are no chapters.

Code:

<div>
<a id=something></a>
<img src=../Images/image.png>
</div>

By the way, in order to prevent the <a> tag to upset the layout rendering are there any options to hide it?

Thanks.

Would it work linking for the <img> tag?

Code:

<img id="location_01" src="../Images/image_01.png">

Thanks.

It's working now.

The only remaining issue whether <img> tag should be linked with 'id' or not.

Thanks

You can put an id in any tag, and link to it.
