I am reading a compilation of short stories.
I noticed that there was no proper chapter split at the end of one story so I used sigil to insert the chapter break.
when I now read on Kobo, instead of seeing that story title in the footer and in the contents, I see only the new html file name once i reach that story.
here is part of the TOC file, I don' see any obvious cause for this behaviour. I did wonder if it is to do with html vs html, but I tried renaming all files to xhtml & that made no difference:
on kobo in toc , and in chapter footers I see ...
NIGHT TAXI
Julie_Smith - New_orleans_noir-split_006.html
LOOT
i.e I don't see the middle story title - i.e. it is not honouring the code line
<text>ANNUNCIATION SHOTGUN</text>
what do I need to tweak to fix this ?
NB if I open the book in ADE, all the TOC entires look OK so I think it's a kobo footer issue, possibly a plug issue within the convert epub to kepub code ? [EDIT - ignore that last remark- I did not send book via that plug in - I have it in kobo android app via dropbox, so it is epub not kepub- but the android app gives it a kepub style footer automatically ]
I can send it via the plug in to my e-reader if necessary & see how it behaves there - if not one has an obvious explanation
I have removed it & resent it via dropbox 3 or 4 times now, after trying various tweaks in Sigil, I still can't find an explanation for this behaviour. It may be a fluke for one book only though because I've not previously noticed it when reading other books
update: starting again at that code excerpt, I see that the problem title is missing this bit on the end of the content link tag:
#heading_id_4
but in my latest version, after having had sigil rebuild the toc - I don't have that #heading bit on any of the toc entries, so that could be another red herring ?
