Hi Pam,
Thanks for the welcome, it's good to be back!
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. I'm admittedly a
finicky reader, so it's always hard to tell if it's just me or what.
Personally, I'd forgo the heading stripper in a heartbeat, in order to save
chapter headings. If you get a book with page headers, you can always
downloade it as a Daisy file, and edit the headers out of the HTML version
using search and replace. But if they aren't there in the first place,
there's no way to put them back in. *smile. I'll try and add the fake
header in the future, and hopefully that will keep the chapter headers there
for future readers.
Best,
Donna

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
