Customize the table of contents for epub book

Hello

I have a book in ID CS6 file, containing ten chapters, each in its own starting with style heading 1 to "Chapter 1", "2", "Chapter 3" etc. It also contains more documents to cover, notes copyright, acknowledgement of receipt, info editor etc. (not quite formatted).

Well, when I export to epub and open it in Adobe Digital Editions a table of contents is generated from all the documents, the names of files.

Is it possible to exclude the entries, I want to be there?

In addition, I can control the text of each entry? for example, the "cr.indd" file, I want the Notes"copyright" text in TOC.

Thank you

Short answer: you can control the TOC navigation by creating a table of contents Style (layout > Style of Table of contents) and including a paragraph style that you want that pulls the titles that you want in the table of contents.

Then call on this Style of table of contents in the general Panel of the EPUB export dialog box.

Looks like you need to get some basic information on creating ePub files. Here are the two best sources I know:

(1) the books of Elizabeth Castro:

http://www.elizabethcastro.com/EPUB/

(2) videos of Anne-Marie Concepcion on Lynda.com. She produced videos on creating EPUB from InDesign CS5, 5.5, and 6. www.Lynda.com. (if Bob Levine sees this, it will add a free link of the week for Lynda.com).

  • Problem with the table of contents pages and books

    I use 8 HR and generate Webhelp.

    I created a project and had to change a few pages of table of contents and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. HR, it looks fine, but when I generate the table of contents for the page instead of the book. I tried to clear my cache in Internet Explorer, and the deletion of the page again. Still no help. I rebooted and even rebooted and still have the same thing. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Indeed if a book has nothing in it, it will not appear in the table of contents. When you think about it, it is very logical. Why would you want a book to appear if nothing was inside?

    See you soon... Rick

  • All my attempts so far to generate the table of contents for Kindle (.mobi) failed. Can anyone help?

    I used InDesign CC to create an epub file and the TOC and the Navigation bar appear perfectly in Adobe Digital Editions (version 3.0). Then I saved the file to the IDML format open InDesign CS6 and use the Kindle Plugin to create a mobi file. I use the same style of table materials used to create the epub file, but although Kindlegen validates the file, the table of contents is unable to generate. I've been on several discussion forums and many people express problems by having their TOC displayed in Kindle Previewer. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Kindle requires a separate html file for OCD and even must be referenced in the guide in content.opf element. In your InDesign CC document, generate the table of contents on a page and make sure the option 'Make the anchor text to the source paragraph' is checked.

    Now export the EPUB 3 file. Open EPUB in Sigil (it's a free EPUB editor of Google). Menu Goto tools-> Table of contents-> generate HTML Table of contents. This creates a new xhtml file and automatically adds the element of guidance in content.opf like this:

    Save EPUB and open directly into Kindle Previewer. Table of contents option must be turned on now and should work.

    Please try and let me know if it works.

    Kind regards

  • How can I display the table of contents for the iPod Touch to 6

    When I opened first of all iPod Touch Users' Guide, I used the table of contents (TOC) to locate and access sections in the manual. But, after looking through the manual for awhile, I tried to return to the table of contents, but it wasn't there! I have tried various things to see if the table of contents are being hidden, or if in some way, it has been deleted. Anyone can shed light on this mysterious event?

    What is the version of iBooks that you speak? There is an online version here: https://help.apple.com/ipod-touch/9/ Aha, I see the table of contents on the left disappears if you zoom before or make the narrow window and reappears if zoom you out or make it larger.

  • How can I customize the Table of contents develop (> >) button?

    I have a client who wants to change the color of the table of contents, expand (> >) button which is a light gray by default. I tried to change all the options in the editor of skin under the Table of contents, playback control and borders, and nothing worked. Am I missing something obvious, or is there no way to customize this button?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    You will not be able to change the color of the expand button, but you can add your own custom images.

    (1) launch the Adobe Captivate 5.5 project

    2) click on the project-> Table of contents

    3) click on the set button

    (4) under TOC settings, you have the icon sections expand and collapse icon

    5) click on 'file' button and find your photo

    That's what your output will look like:

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you

  • How can I exclude a level for the table of contents, but this amount as a bookmark?

    I know how to exclude a level for the table of contents (or rather include only levels I want to be included) and also how to create bookmarks from the table of contents entries, but how can I exclude a level for the table of contents, but always include it as a bookmark?

    Make 2 toc styles. One for the entries in the Bookmarks panel, you can generate a table of contents on the side of any page, and you must score in its definition to create bookmarks and other things that you use to build the table of contents for the visible part of your document to print. This should have unchecked the option create a bookmark in its definition.

  • Indented in the table of contents is not retained in the table of contents of the document

    Hi all

    I use RH7 on a Windows XP Professional platform.

    I am generating documentation and indentation in the table of contents generated in the document is not the same, not even close, as the project.

    I tried to use HTML heading levels maintain checkbox, but while titles fonts are better, indentation in the table of contents for the document is getting worse.

    When I disable this checkbox, it will give me a decent indentation in the table of contents, however the fonts used for headings in the document are sometimes more small then one used for normal text.

    Does anyone has an idea how I could fix it? I don't want to do too much formatting in the Word document either, because it takes a long time.

    Thank you

    Thus in the document that you want to book either title 1 and 2 book 2 and in the table of contents you want this?

    As you can see, this is what I have in the TOC and the body is as described above.

    If you select HTML to maintain levels, you will always get the above with the titles of books but third topic will become a heading 1, as it should with this option checked.

    I maps to a Word template where the TOC styles are defined to be indented as above. Maybe you have to match to a Word template, or if you are, you just need to tweek styles in it.

  • How to insert the table of contents within a table

    Using FrameMaker 12, I create a table of contents within a table. This means, 1st column contains the number of paragraphs, the 2nd column of the text of the paragraphs, the 3rd column the page numbers. Of course, each item must fill each cell of the table. I downloaded an example.

    TOC special format.jpg

    Create a table of contents in normal conditions and use tabs as separators between the page number and section number, <$paratext>.

    Then use convert FM to the usefulness of the table to convert the table of contents for a table using the table design appropriate to your catalog.

    It's a manual, and you will have to redo this each time that you update the table, but it should only take a few clicks to do. Automate the steps with a script would make it less painful.

  • Table of contents for the issue of the ePub

    InDesign CS5; Mac OS 10.6.5

    When I export my TOC document to ePub, do not show the table of contents, only the last two pages with text and an image.

    The table of contents defined paragraph styles. I think I have my correct export settings.

    Help to isolate this problem is appreciated.

    Note: Display of other documents in the book via ePub export display correctly, although the book must refine to ePub format.

    Also, when I tried to export the entire book through the book panel, InDesign starts export, but no activity in the progress bar. I have to force quit to get out of the endless loop. Then when I restart InDesign, Untitled files begin to open, 10, 20 and so on. So, I have to manually close each file.

    I suspect that OCD is causing this issue.

    Yes, that's correct. Once I've re-recorded old files "CS" in the new version, including the file book. Everything worked well.

    And I don't mean just making a backup (thinking that will result in savings in the current version) I want to talk about a backup - as in another folder in a different location... ie you Office

  • How hide the table of contents in the body of an e-book?

    Hey people, I'm kind of a weird request. Do not forget that everything I know about InDesign, I taught myself for a month, so I can miss major somethng.

    As an intern, I am creating ebooks and I have to make sure that those I create the same look as the ebooks previously created for my employer (better yet, I had to do it from scratch!). In their previous ebooks (EPUB file format) the table of contents posted by the ereader clearly indicates a specific style of OCD was used to create (he titles and subtitles, so it is not just the default style that draws from the file names), BUT there is NO table of contents anywhere in the body of the ebook itself. There is also no blank page where a table of contents can be hidden with a hidden layer.

    I created a table of contents to match style to them, but I can't it appears in the drop-down menu Styles TOC when I go to export EPUB book file unless the document of the table of contents is also included in the book file, and as I said, I can't get the table of contents in the body of the ebook itself just in the menu that is displayed by an ereader.

    Any advice?

    Did you use dialogue style of content Table to create a new style of table of contents? If so, then the new table of contents style must appear in the drop-down list TOC Style selected in the dialog box in the Navigation options to export EPUB.

  • When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents

    With FrameMaker 2015. When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents, they are totally blank does not even a block of text. I click on Add> autonomous Create TOC. I keep the default settings. And that's what I'm left with.

    I can get rid of them by special> Delete page. But I never had to do before the 2015 version. I tried with older files generated in frame 10. same thing. If someone has encountered this?

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

  • Can I hide a book or entry in the table of contents, based on a parameter?

    Hi all. I am currently using RH 11.  Is there a way in which I can hide a book or entry in the table of contents, based on a parameter passed in the URL?

    Rh10 introduced dynamic content to the user, otherwise known as categories of content-centric. In an SSL, you can create different outputs. The idea is that aid is open with a drop down menu where the user can select a category. If you look in the output folder, there is a folder for each category and you can open this assistance to a specific category. However, the user can then select other categories.

    The method is described in the HR visit to my site and the projects in the sample have a SSL showing the method.

    To open a specific category, point you to the start page for the category, the name of the category. So the TypeA category can be open from TypeA.htm.

    Risk can be achieved, but if there is, it will have to be changed to code JavaScript and some "behind the scenes" files You would also be painted in the corner of having to do the same changes every time you generate the output.

    If anyone knows how to get there, it will be Willam. It will perhaps be pop and Advisor.

    I don't think 'huge' search and replace that can affect things. But we need to check a few things first.

    When you look at the SSL recipe, using any type of a conditional build Expression? If so, perhaps you have tagged content and it is not for this reason.
