Hi,
Trying to user Novel with Parts. What I want is for my ‘part’ page to be a picture. The illustration with have the part text e.g. PART ONE. THE START. I do not see a way to add a picture.
Thanks
There’s a different image for each part? Then it needs to be part of the manuscript text, not the Compile settings.

Thanks, so I think what you are saying is don’t use novel with parts but instead put the illustration part seperator at the beginning of the chapter that marks the first chapter in the part? This causes havoc in the table of contents. If I can change the text in the part separator eg. Part One The Elephant, Part Two The Horse, why can’t I include an illustration in that!?
I think Katherine means you can add the image at the top of the part in the editor and don’t use the title text when compiling?
I think you could also use different Section Layouts for each part? You can name the section layouts as you want and apply them to each part, and in the layout define the image using <$img:BinderName> placeholder tags?
So in theory, create a Section Layout called “The Elephant”, add the Elephant image in the Section Layout prefix with a tag, and assign that to the part you want?
Correct. The “Part” folder needs to exist in order to get a ToC entry. (Well, you can manually edit the ToC, but why?) So put the image in the top level folder document, and use a Section Layout that doesn’t incorporate the Binder title.
While the suggestion to use a different Section Layout for each Part could work, creating all those nearly identical layouts seems like unnecessary work to me. It also merges ‘content’ and ‘layout’ in a way that seems to me contrary to the spirit of the Compile function.

Thanks, but I must be missing something. Using the Novel with Part template I highlight the Part folder on the binder. And on the right pane I see index cards. I don’t see a way to a picture. If I create a ‘Text’ document directly under it then I get the picture on the page following the ‘Part’ page and it also appears in the TOC. ANY chance someone could sent me an example, just a single picture as a Part page made from the template. Pretty please

A folder in Scrivener can also contain text, just like any other document.
View -> Scrivenings will show you the component documents of the folder as a single text stream. Then uncheck the Scrivenings option to see just the folder document. Put the image there.
See Section 7.1 of the Scrivener 3 manual for more information about the relationship between files and folders.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. That approach was exactly what I tried but when I compile to eBook 3 the illustration does not appear.
Thanks again for your continued help

The “Part” layout in the assigned section layouts needs to be instructed to output the text/body (which will include the images). Called Part Number (Bordered) in this sample project.

Brilliant, thanks that works. So I hit the little cog and ‘edit format’ at the bottom of the formats pane when complilling. Now if I could understand it. What is the difference between 'Part Number (Bordered), Part Number & Part Title Page. When I try the same trick of checking the ‘Text’ box it only seems to work on the ‘Part Number Bordered’ line.
Also where do you get to the Part number formatting. I see the $tPart and I understand that, but where do the two horizontal line come from?
Thanks
If I click the Text box for “Part Number” from Bridey’s project then it works for me, I get the image in the the EPub and a Part name without bordered title:
Regarding where the Bordered lines come from. Note the title is give a Bordered title style in the Section Layout:
This gets converted into a CSS style which is in the custom CSS box (.bordered-title) so the final EPub gets its bordered title format:
GOT IT. Thank you so much everyone. Clarity ensues.
THANKS!
