[bksvol-discuss] Re: chapter headings???

I'll take a look, Cindy. I was just thinking about downloading one of the books that I've submitted and seeing if the chapter headings are there. I'll let you know.
Best,
Donna

I've been putting the chapter titles two or
three--maybe 4 line spaces down, and then another 2
space before the text begins. Also, I put it in a
different font, perhaps bold or ital or all caps or
alarger font, depending on what it is in the book. And
I've been centering it rather than putting it flush
left, if that's where it is in the book.

I don't know if this has worked or not. Some I've done
recently are  Cloud Atlas, First Knight,  Strong
Poison, The Giver, The Messenger, in case you want to
check. I'd be interested in knowing the chapter titles
are there. If so, then I'm going to assume that the
scanner or validator just isn't putting them in. I
eliminate headers manually or with a replace with
nothing; that doesn't affect the chapter titles.

Hi Donna,

Welcome back. I wholeheartedly agree about the lack
of chapter
headings and have expressed strong feelings about it
on several
occasions. So far we've heard that the header
stripper will be
discussed and possibly dropped, but haven't heard
any more about it.
When I validate and submit books, I have taken the
advice of others on
the list and put a page number or the title of the
book above each
chapter heading, hoping that it will strip that and
leave the chapter
headings alone. From what I've seen, sometimes it
works, and sometimes
it doesn't.

With the books passing through so many hands and
equipment before
being placed on the site, I think unfortunately it
becomes a situation
of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Not to sound
ungrateful for
having access to the books, I am extremely thrilled
at that. But like
you, I appreciate knowing where one chapter ends and
another begins.

Pam
