Hyperlinks in ebooks in CS5.5 - Please share your info

I would like to make a suggestion.  Maybe this will help developers.

It seems that some of us have no problem with internal hypertext links in ebooks, and others - which makes me wonder if it is something to do with the individual systems.  I would ask all who have exported to EPUB with CS5.5 to leave an answer to these questions, if you have had problems or not.  Perhaps one of our permanent experts might suggest other issues.

(By "internal links" I mean a link that goes to another location in the document, and not a URL on the internet.)

1 internal hyperlinks work when you export a book in epub format?

2 internal hyperlinks work when you export a single document to EPUB?

3. are you using a Mac or a PC?

4. what operating system do you use?

5. any other input you feel may be useful.

Somehow, we need to get this figured out!

Thanks for your comments.

With the greatest respect to Gabriel, this problem was not fixed in 5.5.  I have the same problem.  Yes, hyperlinks work very well in a document unique epub, but they do not work correctly in the books.

You'll find you need to export the entire book to an epub, then unpack it with 7zip, correct the hyperlinks and he rezip.  You must know HTML to do this.

According to other messages that I read on this forum, InDesign leaves out a part of the code when exporting a book.

I found this post here somewhere, but I can't remember where:

"Wherever you see a place the name of the file that you are linking the reference in front of her. If you link the chapter title for an item in the table of contents, and the name of file for Chapter 1 is 1.xhtml chapter, this: .  You must do this to each cross-reference.

I hope this helps.  It's a real pain, but it seems to be the only answer.

Good luck.
