Subject: Newbie here, questions on creating a TOC
smga3000

Hi,

I've just got the demo at the moment, if I can make this work properly then I'll
definitely buy a copy.  Here is my scenario:

* I have a single Word doc that I'm saving to HTML that is a full book
* Throughout the doc there is "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc
* I want to create an ePub output and a Kindle targeted one

I've gone through the help and the archives here, but I can't see how I can
create the TOC and link it to those chapter markers.  I'm a long time programmer
but fairly new to this topic with only a basic understanding of the underlying
target formats.  If you could point me at a step by step for what I'm talking
about, that would be great.

Thanks very much,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

You can check "Generate table of contents" in your Epub configuration
(edit it by pressing Edit on the toolbar, then click on Configurations
and scroll down until you see the appropriate option. This will generate
a ToC page automatically when you compile it (it won't be shown in the
project outline).

If you want more control, use Book -> Build Table of Contents and follow
the wizard.

Check "Create contents with Jutoh's help" and "Recreate contents by
scanning documents".

In the next page select how each heading style in your documents will be
recognised and converted to a ToC entry, for each ToC level.

In the next page you can edit the entries it finds, which you can also
do from Project Properties/Indexes/Table of Contents.

This 'advanced ToC mode' will show a ToC page in the project outline;
run the wizard again if you change the book structure. The editable
entries will also be used to generate the NCX (the Epub index shown e.g.
when you view using Adobe Digital Editions).

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Julian

Thank you Julian,

I've tried this with HTML and ODT and it just simply isn't finding my chapter
marks, I can't really tell what I should be putting in the Table of Contents
wizard and then there was another dialog at some point that had you put a string
to put in for it to look for, which I had "Chapter *", but I still get an empty
toc from what I can tell based on your information and can't find an 'advanced
toc mode' in the help or just browsing around.  The html for the chapters looks
like this:

<p class=textpara style='text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal;mso-pagination:
none'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman"'>CHAPTER
2<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Sorry to be a pain, I'm sure this is simple once I know how it goes.

thanks,
shawn

Hi Shawn,

You need to make sure your chapter headings are marked up with a
particular named style, e.g. "Chapter" or "Heading 1". You can apply
this in Jutoh, or you can apply it in your word processor before import
(don't import from HTML if you can help it, it doesn't preserve styles).

Then in the ToC Wizard, for each level you specify e.g. Heading 1 in
"Matching heading style for this level" and for each Heading 1 it finds,
it'll create a ToC entry.

Advanced ToC mode is implied when you select "Create contents with
Jutoh's help" and there's more than one ToC entry in the Contents tab in
Project Properties.

If you don't want to do all that, run the ToC wizard again, select
"Leave to Jutoh", and make sure "Generate table of contents" is checked
in the Epub configuration. Delete the Table of Contents page if there is
one in the project. Then compile the Epub and the ToC should appear in
the Epub or Mobipocket.

Regards,

Julian

Ah sweet, I seem to have been successful, thank you for your help, just one
warning, don't know if it is meaningful.  When importing the ODT conversion from
Word, I see this error:

Unrecognised element: office:forms

and one other question, is there an option to export azw format or is mobi it?

thanks,
shawn

Yes, that's harmless, just an unparsed element.

Just .mobi, I believe azw is only created by Amazon so you shouldn't
need it.

Hi,

Jutoh 1.31 is available from http://www.jutoh.com/download.htm.

Some fixes (especially an iBooks optimization breakage fix), and a
couple of new features (com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml generation
and a new Document Cleanup command).

Full list of changes below.

Regards,

Julian

Version 1.31, May 7th 2011

      * Added new Document Cleanup command, for removing ad hoc
formatting, redundant spaces, and so on.
      * If either Embed fonts or Generate font names is enabled, as well
as Optimize for iBooks, Jutoh will generate a file called
com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml with specified-fonts set to true.
      * Fixed a footnote duplication problem.
      * Automatic styles from footnotes are now copied to the endnotes
section, so styles don't disappear.
      * Jutoh deals more gracefully with line feed characters erroneously
entered into strings, causing XML read problem. The characters are now
stripped out if the load attempt fails first time, and Jutoh also strips
out such characters from URLs when entered by the user.
      * The cover preview in the control panel is now a more reasonable
size when the control panel is increased in size.
      * Added some margin around the cover preview image.
      * Added Installed-Size field to Debian package to prevent warnings

Hi,

Jutoh 1.31 is available from http://www.jutoh.com/download.htm.

Some fixes (especially an iBooks optimization breakage fix), and a
couple of new features (com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml generation
and a new Document Cleanup command).

Full list of changes below.

Regards,

Julian

Version 1.31, May 7th 2011

* Added new Document Cleanup command, for removing ad hoc
formatting, redundant spaces, and so on.
* If either Embed fonts or Generate font names is enabled, as well
as Optimize for iBooks, Jutoh will generate a file called
com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml with specified-fonts set to true.
* Fixed a footnote duplication problem.
* Automatic styles from footnotes are now copied to the endnotes
section, so styles don't disappear.
* Jutoh deals more gracefully with line feed characters erroneously
entered into strings, causing XML read problem. The characters are now
stripped out if the load attempt fails first time, and Jutoh also strips
out such characters from URLs when entered by the user.
* The cover preview in the control panel is now a more reasonable
size when the control panel is increased in size.
* Added some margin around the cover preview image.
* Added Installed-Size field to Debian package to prevent warnings
with Ubuntu 11.04.
* Added "How to improve document formatting" section to the manual.
* Fixed iBooks optimization which was broken in a recent release.

Hello newbie here:
  not a tech person at all, a writer with some tech friends so I use Ubuntu:)

I imported my word doc from another computer, changed to Open Office & uploaded.
I then received these problems with turning it into e-pub and mobi:

With epub it failed the preflight checker with 'failed with error 2!'

with mobi, finished preflight checking, then when I pressed Launch I get this
message:

'could not determine the extension for e-pub - install a suitable application
and edit your MIME types."

Also when I was editing my book for some reason, words on the left hand side
were cut off? What is that, when I changed the text editor width the words were
still cut off.

I have no idea what that means, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04.

This probably means that Java is not installed on your system. Normally
it will be installed already so I'm not sure why it wasn't but, perhaps
one of your techie friends could investigate. Java is needed for the
checker. Not sure whether the regular epub checker (non-preflight) also
failed... if that worked, that it would be mysterious why the other didn't.

I think you must still using the Epub configuration because it's trying
to launch the .epub file, and you don't have an Epub viewer application
installed, e.. FBReader.

I wonder if there was a problem importing the book and there was a bad
left indent. Maybe you can try changing the paragraph style for a
paragraph using the drop-down control on the toolbar, as a test to see
if a different style makes a difference. Does it happen with the sample
too? (See the help menu to load the sample.) If this persists please
send me the .jutoh and I'll investigate.

Not really, I'm afraid, some readers will suport the embedding of a
sound file which is shown as an icon you need to click rather than
playing automatically - it may be possible but it's likely to be
restricted to very few systems, plus it'll make the book file very large.

  thanks I installed Java, which was quite easy. And the pre-flight checker runs
fine.

I'll give this a try today with my file & get back to you. thank you for the

Subject: Drop Caps
mikeconnor44
Send Email Send Email
 
Has anybody created Drop Caps in Jutoh? I imported an epub made with InDesign
into Jutoh and found it very simple to correct the TOC and make links to
chapters and illustrations.
Then I opened up the newly compiled epub in Sigil to modify the css and add
dropcaps to first paragraphs. That worked fine, but when I sync'ed the epub with
my iPad, all of the Jutoh changes were gone and the TOC disappeared.

I also tried editing the epub in Textwrangler, but the expand and compress on
the Mac causes a weird error message when validated - the first file is too long
- whatever that means.

So if I can create drop caps in Jutoh I can avoid using Sigil and having to
expand the epub file to edit.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Mike,

Yes, unfortunately any edits to the HTML will be lost when you
regenerate the book.

Jutoh doesn't support drop caps directly, but you can use CSS to achieve
it (at least in Epub, with slightly less success on Mobipocket). There's
some information about the general principles here:

http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35928&page=5

In Jutoh, you can create a character style to apply to the first letter.
Go to Project Properties/Styles, click New Style, Character Style. Enter
the name Drop Caps. Press OK. Still in the Styles panel, in the
drop-down under the styles list, choose "Character styles". Select "Drop
Caps", click Edit, go to the Font tab and choose a large font, say 20pt,
and choose Font weight/Bold. This is just to show a large bold font in
the editor, this exact formatting won't show in the ebook. Press OK to
dismiss the Drop Caps editor and now click on Properties to show the
Drop Caps property dialog. Check "Use custom CSS" and paste in this text:

.C_Drop_Caps {
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 89%;
height: 0.75em;
font-size: 281%;
margin-right: 0.075em;
float:left;
}

(this should replace the existing text - if you used a different name
for the Drop Caps style, make sure it's reflected in the name after the
dot in the CSS.)

Now press OK, OK again and in the editor, select the first letter of
your paragraph and apply Drop Caps to it. You can do this with
right-click (or control click on Mac), Styles, scroll to the bottom of
the menu, click on Character Styles, choose Drop Caps.

Now when you compile the Epub and show it in e.g. Adobe Digital
Editions, you should see something approximating a drop caps. In Kindle
it'll be shown as a large letter, just not dropped. You may need to
tweak the CSS to work better with your choice of font sizes.

Regards,

Julian

Hi,

You can get Jutoh 1.32 from http://www.jutoh.com/downloads.htm.

Not many changes this time, just a few quite important fixes including
as an ODT import space fix, an endnotes generation crash fix, and a
correction for Mobipocket image attribute generation.

Here is the complete change list:

Version 1.32, June 6th 2011

* Moved document properties menu command to Documents menu.
* Fixed a crash when building endnotes and there is no existing endnotes
page.
* Fixed a crash in the cover designer dialog when clicking on the
preview area when there are no objects.
* Now outputs old-style image width, height and alignment attributes for
Mobipocket, so image resizing now works on Kindle.
* Fixed a problem in ODT import whereby spaces between spans were omitted.
* Ampersands in HTML image 'alt' text are now correctly escaped.

Best regards,

Julian

Hi Matthias,

You should be able to import bookmarks in an ODT file and Jutoh will try
to resolve the references; or you can add bookmarks within Jutoh (Format
-> Insert -> Link to Page).

Hi

I'm having and issue with an errant tag that's appearing when I load my ebook in
Calibre. It shows as 'Tags: General Fiction'. I haven't chosen that tag or any
other tag anywhere that I can find in Jutoh.

It's a genealogy book so I tried adding a custom dc:subject tag to override it,
but ended up with 'Tags: Genealogy, General Fiction' in Calibre.

Where is this tag hiding? I need to purge it!

Great software! :) Love it.

cheers
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

If you clck on Edit and look at the Metadata tab, the "Subject" field
contains the default subject tag; but you can add further values to the
tag by clicking on "..." next to Subject. I suspect you have multiple
elements for this tag, one of which you can delete by clicking on it in
the Elements list and then clicking Delete.

I hope this fixes it, but if not, do send me your .jutoh file privately
and I'll take a look at it.

Thanks for the nice comments :-)

Best regards,

Julian

Hi Julian

Thanks for the quick reply!

There was nothing in the Subject field under Metadata so I added Genealogy and
that worked.

I couldn't work out how the [...] part worked as it only gave me the option of
Adding a new one that was called Subject 2, Subject 3 etc.

cheers
Ryan

Hi

I'm trying to get a bulleted list to have a grey background. I've created a
couple of List styles with custom CSS but I can't work out how to apply them.
They don't appear in the dropdown with the rest of the styles.

If I apply my standard grey box style to the bulleted list, it exports in the
ePub in the style as it appears in Jutoh (in my case, it's pink) and not how the
custom CSS renders.

Any help appreciated! Now working to a very close deadline. :s

You then fill in the Value for each such element. But if you only have
one value for the subject tag, you don't have to bother with that.

Hi,

You can apply a specific list style with Format -> Bullets and
Numbering. However on looking further, the custom CSS for a list style
is not currently applied, sorry. Mapping list styles from Jutoh to
HTML/CSS is rather involved and applying custom CSS didn't make it. I
can look into improving this but I doubt it will be within your deadline
timescales alas.

Regards,

Julian

P.S. using the "HTML" style to insert HTML/CSS directly before and after
your lists, you should be able to override various list attributes. Also
you could change list styles globally using the custom global CSS (see
3rd button in the Styles tab in Project Properties).

Julian

Hi Julian

Thanks for the suggestions. I still can't get the hang of bullet styles. If I
give a block of text a bullet using the formatting toolbar, it makes it the
default bullet style. If I then go into Format > Bullets and Numbering and apply
a style, nothing changes. If I go Format >  Bullets and Numbering first to apply
the style, nothing changes either - the bullet is not applied when I click Ok,
whichever style I choose.

I'm not having any luck with the HTML/CSS insert with the HTML style either;
whatever I put, I get errors in the epubcheck phase, "text not allowed here"
etc.

cheers
Ryan

Strange; I can use the Bullets and Numbering dialog to apply a list style.
