I’m creating a three ebook bundle, but am having trouble generating the correct TOC. All I want is for each book to be a single entry in the table of contents, but it seems no matter what I try, it’s adding all of the chapters as well.
Right now, my binder is set up simply with one folder and one file per book. Despite that, when I compile I’m getting a TOC entry for each section in each book, even though it’s all just one file/text.
I know it’s something simple that I’m missing. Any advice on how to compile this thing with just the top level folders (boook titles) showing in the TOC?
Thanks so much for the reply. I see now about the page breaks.
I would be all right (would prefer, actually) if the chapters (in the one file with page breaks) would show in the TOC, but nested under the book title. Is that possible?
I’m having a hard time doing the manual TOC and the nested version is preferable, if that’s possible.
If you want a custom layout from the Scrivener side of things, the aforementioned process to create your own ToC is the only way to do so (outside of the few checkboxes in the Layout compile option pane). Otherwise, there is always editing the .ePub file in an editor like Calibre or Sigil after you compile.
To be clear this should be fairly straight-forward to do in Scrivener. I’d only recommend the post-compile steps if you’re trying to do something that you cannot do with a custom ToC. Let us know what the nature of the problem is you are running into.
